The Litigation Committee was partly inspired by the mediaeval notion of universities according to which the professors and students formed a community and any disputes had to be settled \u201cinternally\u201d. The Luxembourg Act of 27 June 2018 concerning the organisation of the University of Luxembourg (hereafter the \u201cAct\u201d) did not opt for the most radical form of this model: the Litigation Committee does not have a monopoly over dispute resolution and does not have the status of a court. The Luxembourg courts retain jurisdiction for the vast majority of these disputes (but not all). However, any (current, former and\/or potential) student who wishes to bring a complaint before the Administrative Tribunal must first submit his\/her grievances to the The Litigation Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"py-48 first:pt-0 last:pb-0 wp-block-unilux-blocks-people-list\">\n    \n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"president-of-the-litigation-committee\"\n    >\nPresident of the Litigation Committee<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-wrap -mx-16 wp-block-unilux-blocks-people-item-wrapper\">\n    <li class=\"w-full md:w-1\/2 p-16 wp-block-unilux-blocks-people-item-automated\"><div class=\"ulux-card card-people bg-theme\"><div class=\"list-people bg-theme\">\n    <div class=\"list-people__container\">\n        <div class=\"list-people__visual\">\n            <figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image\">\n                <!-- Template Image Component: default -->\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w-full\" width=\"\" height=\"\" rel=\"\" alt=\"Assoc.

Committee does not cover all disputes between students and the University. For example, the committee may not rule on any complaints by students regarding inappropriate behaviour by a member of teaching or administrative staff (for example harassment, violence, etc.). For complaints of this nature, students should contact the superior in this context, namely the Rector, and\/or make direct contact with public authorities such as the police or the Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n\n<p>The remit of the Litigation Committee&nbsp;<strong>is limited to ruling on the validity of certain formal decisions taken by some University bodies<\/strong>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>The nature of these \u201cformal decisions\u201d is laid down in article 46 (1) of the 2018 Act on the UL, which provides two categories:<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cArticle 46. Litigation Committee&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>(1) A Litigation Committee is set up by the University Council with the following powers:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>1. to rule on appeals against disciplinary sanctions decided by the Rector;<br>2. to rule on appeals against decisions taken on the basis of the provisions in articles 32 to 37 and article 39.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>The first category is \u201cdisciplinary sanctions\u201d, formal decisions taken by the Rector concerning a student.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>The second category of &#8220;decisions&#8221; covers all formal decisions taken both in the context of teaching at Bachelor, Master and Doctoral levels and in the context of research undertaken by students enrolled in a doctoral thesis. Thus, for example, a secondary school student who has not been admitted to a course (decision of non-admission within the framework of a numerus clauses, article 32 of the Act of 27 June 2018 on the organisation of the University of Luxembourg) or a candidate who contests a decision related to the recognition of his or her prior experience (article 33 of the same Act) or a student who has been excluded from a certain study course (articles 34 and 36 of the same law) may refer to the Litigation Committee.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Read carefully the articles 32 to 39 of the Act of 27 June 2018 concerning the organization of the University of Luxembourg to make sure that your appeal falls within the remit of the Litigation Committee.<\/strong><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"accordion__item  wp-block-unilux-blocks-accordion-item\">\n    <h3 class=\"accordion__header\"\n        >\n        <button\n            type=\"button\"\n            id=\"accordion-labelledby-eabc3db4-2646-4970-bba1-bab4d1dfba51\"\n            class=\"accordion__button collapsed\"\n            aria-expanded=\"false\"\n            aria-controls=\"accordion-panel-eabc3db4-2646-4970-bba1-bab4d1dfba51\"\n            data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\"\n            data-bs-target=\"#accordion-panel-eabc3db4-2646-4970-bba1-bab4d1dfba51\"\n        >\n            <span class=\"accordion__title\">\n                                What are the deadlines?            <\/span>\n\n            <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-down \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-down\"><\/use><\/svg>        <\/button>\n    <\/h3>\n    <div id=\"accordion-panel-eabc3db4-2646-4970-bba1-bab4d1dfba51\"\n        class=\"accordion__collapse collapse\"\n        aria-labelledby=\"accordion-labelledby-eabc3db4-2646-4970-bba1-bab4d1dfba51\"\n        data-bs-parent=\"[data-reference=&quot;22c0e908-ee3b-4d7e-b577-ef1abbc09195&quot;]\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"accordion__body \">\n            \n<p>If the appeal is against a \u201cdisciplinary sanction\u201d, the deadline is very short: \u201cseven days from the date of notification of the decision\u201d to impose a sanction (article 47 (1) Act).<\/p>\n\n<p>If the appeal is against a \u201cdecision\u201d within the meaning of article 46 (1) 2\u00b0 Act (\u201cdecision taken on the basis of articles 32 to 37 or 39 of the Act\u201d), the deadline is longer: \u201cone month\u201d from the date of notification (article 48 Act).<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"accordion__item  wp-block-unilux-blocks-accordion-item\">\n    <h3 class=\"accordion__header\"\n        >\n        <button\n            type=\"button\"\n            id=\"accordion-labelledby-3b1d9fda-4b26-4ad2-ac79-afa3bf24e916\"\n            class=\"accordion__button collapsed\"\n            aria-expanded=\"false\"\n            aria-controls=\"accordion-panel-3b1d9fda-4b26-4ad2-ac79-afa3bf24e916\"\n            data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\"\n            data-bs-target=\"#accordion-panel-3b1d9fda-4b26-4ad2-ac79-afa3bf24e916\"\n        >\n            <span class=\"accordion__title\">\n                                What are the working languages of the Litigation Committee?            <\/span>\n\n            <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-down \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-down\"><\/use><\/svg>        <\/button>\n    <\/h3>\n    <div id=\"accordion-panel-3b1d9fda-4b26-4ad2-ac79-afa3bf24e916\"\n        class=\"accordion__collapse collapse\"\n        aria-labelledby=\"accordion-labelledby-3b1d9fda-4b26-4ad2-ac79-afa3bf24e916\"\n        data-bs-parent=\"[data-reference=&quot;22c0e908-ee3b-4d7e-b577-ef1abbc09195&quot;]\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"accordion__body \">\n            \n<p>The University Act adopted in 2018 does not include any systematic exceptions to the Language Act of 24 February 1984. The only activity for which a \u201cmultilingual\u201d system that departs to a certain extent from the traditional trilingual system provided by the aforementioned Act of 24 February may be applied by University bodies, under article 31 (6) Act, is the \u201cteaching of study programmes\u201d. So none of the provisions adopted by the University of Luxembourg regarding the specific language arrangements at the University of Luxembourg (Internal Regulations, version 2019: par.[4]; University of Luxembourg Study Regulations approved by ministerial decree of 21 May 2019: articles 37, 51, 59 and 62) concerns the Dispute Committee. Relations between any claimant (an individual) and the Dispute Committee (an administrative body) remain governed by the aforementioned Act of 24 February 1984, especially its articles 3 and 4. These authorise the use of French, German or Luxembourgish for requests to administrative bodies. Under the same Act, the administrative body should, \u201cas far as possible\u201d, reply in the same language.<br>So the claim may be written in one of these three languages. In practice, given that the applicable legal texts are written in French, the Dispute Committee strongly encourages claimants to use French.&nbsp;The Committee may also receive appeals in English.

For the oral part of the procedure, the Litigation Committee invites both parties to attend a hearing. The date of the hearing is set and communicated by the president of the Litigation Committee. At the hearing, an adversarial debate takes place between the parties and between the parties and the Committee.<\/p>\n\n<p>Each party may attend the hearing accompanied by the person or people of their choice. In particular, each party may be assisted by a legal adviser (lawyer, etc.), who may speak.<\/p>\n\n<p>After the hearing, the Litigation Committee meets to discuss the case. The members of the Litigation Committee decide independently, in accordance with the law; they are not bound by any instructions. The decision of the Litigation Committee requires at least three votes in favor from the members present (article 46 (3) Act).<\/p>\n\n<p>The duly reasoned decision is sent by email to the complainant and to the other party.
