Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court's composition was irregular because its report was drafted by a juriste-rédacteur rather than the reporting judge.
Extracted holding
The use of a juriste-rédacteur did not amount to a manifest breach of the cantonal rules on court composition, provided the reporting judge made the report his own before circulation.
Extracted reasoning
The relevant cantonal rules did not clearly prohibit a draft prepared by a legal collaborator; only judges may deliberate, and here the report was circulated and approved by the judges, so no external person intruded into the decision-making.
