English translation: criminal court judge

French to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law (general) / Proceedings in the tribunal de grande instance (France)
French term or phrase: juge répressif
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"?

Explanation:
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.

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...
