Question juridique clé
Whether the extraordinary audit ordered by the supervisory authority was necessary and lawful
Solution extraite
The audit was justified because the authority had to react quickly to an obvious internal crisis that threatened the association's functioning and the supervision of a large self-regulatory body.
Motifs extraits
The events of October 2001, the committee minutes, the warning note, and the resignations showed a serious risk of paralysis; the authority could not let the situation deteriorate.
