Understanding to Decide

The Private Investigator in Administrative Law

In administrative and public law, local authorities may call upon private investigators to defend their interests, particularly in disciplinary proceedings against civil servants. Investigation and private security services are included in public defense and security contracts, in accordance with Article 24, paragraph 4 of Decree No. 2016-361 of March 25, 2016. Local authorities may therefore hire private investigators to prove an employee's misconduct before an administrative judge.

However,public employers are required to respect a duty of loyalty toward their employees, unless a major public interest, such as a disturbance of public order, justifies an exception. Indeed, according to ruling no. 355201 of July 16, 2014 of the Council of State, a disciplinary sanction based on a private detective's report relying on material findings made in places open to the public does not constitute a breach of this duty of loyalty. Thus, the supreme administrative court allows the use in court of private detective reports by a local or regional authority.

In contrast, labor courts generally reject reports by private investigators submitted by private companies. Consequently, although local authorities have the option of using private investigators in administrative disputes, this practice is not as widely accepted in the private sector.
