The huissier de jusitce is a court officer.
The name comes fromUsherthe camera, the door. The "h" is silent. We must write the "huissier de jusitce" and make the connection in the huissier de jusitces.
History
The huissier de jusitce is the distant successor executorsofthe ancient, which were responsible for implementing the decisions of judges.
The profession of what seems today that the huissier de jusitces be found in antiquity. At that time, under thepax romana , our ancestors were using what they called officialis to enforce the decisions of judges.
According to their functions in the official had different titles. Among them, we will retain apparitores and executors. The first mission was to gather people at trial, to introduce litigants and to police the hearing. The second method to seizures of property of debtors or coerced by the body "by which the creditor got paid by imprisoning his debtor.
The barbarian invasions ended the pax romana and private justice reappeared.
It was then the Middle Ages that the different jurisdictions that have emerged, whether manor Church or royalty, were in need of a variety of agents sworn who has sufficient authority to enforce their decisions.
Thus in the official Roman became sergeants and huissier de jusitces. Sergeants who were involved especially the meanings in seigneurial courts, were shaping litigants' requests and implement the decisions made by judges. huissier de jusitces, meanwhile, whose name comes from the "camera", the door, had the mission service within the hearings and court police.
Gradually, huissier de jusitces became officers of the courts while the sergeants major were relegated to the courts of second order.
Widened their skills, and it became increasingly difficult to group them all into one category.
But different symbols to distinguish them: one could recognize them by their colorful coats and striped and their "little round stick, ebony, long of a foot lined copper or ivory" named "Rod."
Texts of XIV 15th century s had the huissier de jusitce had to have a good horse in the value of 100 books, weapons and sufficient a "yard" of the value of 50 pounds and stated that he also had to be married, tonsured and continually raise his tuxedo. If the huissier de jusitce was a symbol of royal authority was the "yard" which was the main characteristic of his authority. The ushers were hit, according to a order of 1568, "those to whom they are mandated to achievement of justice." Once the huissier de jusitce had touched any of his "penis", the latter owed him obedience and submission.
In addition, a ring of money brought to their thumb they used to seal the relationship of their exploits.
Over time, the costume huissier de jusitces evolved and varied with locations and courts. Sometimes dress wool then satin black single cap and hat velvet with gold cord ... Plumed most of all was undoubtedly one of the first huissier de jusitce of the Parliament of Paris who had the title of Master, as so noble and squire whose costume was a red dress with a cloth cap of golden snub of ermine with a big gem.
This is the Template:-s as huissier de jusitces lost the obligation to wear their costumes. Signs to distinguish them sank into a shield with three fleurs de lys worn on the shoulder and still the "yard".
Meanwhile, within this trade, the duties were divided. Thus, the sergeants and huissier de jusitces to the court in the Châtelet of Paris were divided by huissier de jusitces for the courts, policemen on horseback to the suburbs and the countryside, sergeants on foot or yard for the center of the city, auctioneer (the Auctioneers today), the dozen ushers (guards of the Provost) huissier de jusitces said arrant depending only on the Chatelet which could operate in the kingdom.
In 1705, a edict together into one body the community yard and sergeants on horseback du Chatelet by giving them a common title of "Usher". Until then as a huissier de jusitce had been reserved for sergeants rod that same year became the "huissier de jusitces sergeants penis." This allowed them to "operate in all matters in the whole extent of the kingdom and live where they pleased."
This unification was accompanied by a regulation as to their number.
To a stop 22 Thermidor Year VIII, each court should specify by notice in the number of huissier de jusitces was necessary allowing the central government to regain control of this occupational category.
Thus appeared a draft status of the huissier de jusitce, reinforced by an imperial decree, dated 14 June 1813. It also took over some ancient texts to determine for example the mode of appointment of huissier de jusitces and establishing the knowledge required and the exact duties of these officers.
Today, the huissier de jusitces (who received this qualification in 1955) carries over in costume and posed the "yard".
The current status of huissier de jusitces result of an order of November 2, 1945 and an implementing decree of 29 February 1956, amended several times: these texts define the limits of their monopoly, the conditions of their professional responsibility, state their status and allow their group or their association.
Different sections of the Penal Code reinforce the penalties for certain Offences when committed against a huissier de jusitce in the exercise of its functions.
The huissier de jusitces are officers, holders of their function through a charge acquired with the approval of government, and monopoly over the service of documents.
Documents served by Usher are binding on all and value of deed. In this respect, the huissier de jusitce is also a notary public.
It may be necessary to establish physical findings, or at the request of Justice (see material facts that can serve as useful information as part of a lawsuit), or at the request of an individual (eg to make an admission of adultery, to establish an inventory, to establish a neighborhood disturbance, or to ensure the fairness of a contest or a sweepstakes).
Moreover, being authorized to proceed with the recovery of any court or legal claim, the huissier de jusitce may make seizures.
Finally, under a court order, the huissier de jusitce may carry out an operation of deportation.
It should be noted that the huissier de jusitces have a right of withdrawal, and can refuse to intervene in certain cases, especially where conflict of interest or if enforcement costs are too high relative to the claim . In the case of a conflict of interest, the creditor may request the Departmental Chamber of huissier de jusitces to appoint a huissier de jusitce.
Nowadays, the huissier de jusitces practicing in a territorial defined by decree, which generally corresponds to the spring of District Court in their professional residence , but their skill can sometimes be extended to several courts depending on the same High Court.
