French term

juge répressif

French to English Law/Patents Law (general) Proceedings in the tribunal de grande instance (France)
L'article L.8271-13 du code du travail impose cependant au juge répressif de vérifier que la demande qui lui est soumise soit fondée «sur des éléments de fait laissant présumer de l’existence d'une infraction dont la prevue est recherchée.

This cannot be "repressive judge"
Could it mean "investigating judge"?

@ Daryo Yes of course, but obviously we wouldn't use "repressive" in English
Daryo Jul 4, 2013:
This cannot be "repressive judge" ? - well, in fact it is. It's the judge deciding about the sanction - the punishment for some unacceptable behaviour that needs to be "repressed".

criminal court judge

I'm just adding the word "court" to the answer because I think it makes it a bit clearer. We're not saying the judge is criminal. We're saying he presides in criminal court.

Thanks!
neutral rkillings : Not the preferred way of saying it. Seems to put the judge in the same class as criminal dictators, criminal mayors, criminal doctors, and so on. :-)

neutral Daryo : really unfortunate formulation: could also be understood as the judge switching sides ... which does happen, but not so often, and shouldn't be presumed...
