Le Tribunal des conflits est une juridiction composée à parité, de membres du Conseil d'État et de la Cour de cassation. Il a pour mission de résoudre les conflits de compétence entre les juridictions de l'ordre judiciaire et les juridictions de l'ordre administratif et de prévenir un déni de justice dans le cas de contrariété de décisions définitives rendues, dans le même litige, par une juridiction de chacun des deux ordres. Le Tribunal des conflits statue enfin sur les recours en responsabilité pour une durée totale excessive des procédures afférentes à un même litige, conduites entre les mêmes parties devant les deux ordres de juridictions, et le cas échéant, devant le Tribunal lui-même.
