Abstract
A recent judgment handed down by the Court of Cassation prohibits the use of telecommunications means to carry out psychiatric assessments. This ban can be welcomed in that it makes it possible to offer quality expertise throughout France, but on the contrary, it arouses fear given the low number of experts and their uniform distribution across the territory.
