| description | The article presents the results of a pluridisciplinary research study – in the field of social and legal sciences – concerning a criminal case, the so-called Outreau case, and more precisely about a specific corpus: the hearings before the parliamentary investigation committee created in order to investigate “the reasons for the dysfunction of the judiciary”. After presenting the organisation of hearings, we propose a transversal reading of the case: from the analysis of proceedings to the reforms resulting from parliamentary discussions. This reading is inscribed in a temporality which includes both the case and its parliamentary re-appropriation: what we denominate the Outreau phenomenon. This qualification highlights the oral forms characterising the case: the transcribed words of the instruction phase, the contradictory words of the hearings before the courts and the public words of the hearings before the parliamentary committee. The statute-law from March 5, 2007 takes over this distinction in order to reaffirm the role of the public and contradictory words in the instruction phase and to generalise the audiovisual recording. The reform tends to protect the rights of the accused by giving the procedure the characteristics of the accusatory system: the oral character and the public character. Nevertheless its implementation seems to be difficult because of the weight of the “inquisitory” procedure’s inheritance. |
