The court-martial convened on 9 November 1815 and on 11–12 November voted to declare itself non-competent; the passages do not state the jurisdictional consequence.
The King's government appointed Marshal Jourdan as president of the court-martial, which comprised the marshals Jourdan, Masséna, Augereau, and Mortier, and the generals Gazan de La Peyriere (instead of Maison who refused), Claparède and Villatte. It convened on 9 November 1815. After long deliberation, the court voted 5–2 to declare itself "non-competent" on 11 and 12 November. The passages do not state that this decision shifted jurisdiction to another body.
