Impeachment is a process in which the Parliament of the United Kingdom may prosecute and try individuals, normally holders of public office, for high treason or other crimes and misdemeanours. First used to try William Latimer, 4th Baron Latimer during the English Good Parliament of 1376, it was a rare mechanism whereby Parliament was able to arrest and depose ministers of the Crown. The last impeachment was that of Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville in 1806; since then, other forms of democratic scrutiny (notably the doctrine of collective cabinet responsibility) have been favoured and the process has been considered as an obsolete—but still extant—power of Parliament.

Cette procédure est originaire du Royaume-Uni et est surtout connue pour son application aux États-Unis (voir : Impeachment (États-Unis)). (fr)

  • L'impeachment /ɪmˈpiːt͡ʃmənt/ (parfois traduit abusivement[pourquoi ?] en français par le faux-ami « empêchement » ou encore « procédure de mise en accusation » dans une traduction du langage juridique britannique[réf. nécessaire]) est le nom de la procédure permettant au pouvoir législatif de destituer un haut fonctionnaire ou un membre d'un gouvernement. Cette procédure de destitution a pour but de permettre d'engager des poursuites judiciaires pénales à l'encontre des hauts fonctionnaires destitués. Littéralement, le mot signifie « mise en accusation »[réf. nécessaire] et on distingue cette mise en accusation du procès proprement dit, l'impeachment trial. Dans son usage courant, le terme désigne la procédure dans son ensemble ou la destitution à son issue. Cette procédure est originaire du Royaume-Uni et est surtout connue pour son application aux États-Unis (voir : Impeachment (États-Unis)). (fr)
