The secretary of the disciplinary council offers a complainant whose complaint does not comply with section 6 to complete the complaint, failing which the secretary refuses the complaint.
A complaint that is refused is deemed never to have existed, unless the default has been remedied or the decision of the secretary of the disciplinary council has been reviewed following an application filed with the senior chair of the Bureau des présidents des conseils de discipline who decides on the application as soon as possible.
