LE FORUM DES MEMBRES DU VILLAGE

Hi,

I am not sure whether many of you will be familiar with that procedure
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_master
Anyway, in France : there is no 'SpecialMaster ', right?
so my question is:
in a complex matter (Licitation) which has been dragging on for years
and with the lastest twist:
the latest hearing was held in a private session (4 people)
without some co-héritiers present --they were not notified at all

What do you do? how do you say 'magouille' in Fr ?
Tks
