Withdrawal of the deputy mayor's delegation: municipal by-law

Pursuant to Article L 2122-18 of the General Code of Territorial Communities, this decision, which takes the form of an order, does not have to be motivated or subject to an adversarial procedure.

When the mayor has withdrawn the delegations he has given to a deputy, it is the municipal council that must decide on the retention of the deputy.

It helps to guarantee the validity of the acts it receives, and also guarantees the responsibility that could be engaged by a local authority or its representative. This control is a formal control: date, composition of councils, powers, delegations, rules of incompatibilities and prohibitions, and editorial content and publicity of deliberations
