Under the French Government, an ordonnance (French for "ordinance") is a statutory instrument issued by the Council of Ministers in an area of law normally reserved for primary legislation enacted by the French Parliament.
They should not be confused with executive orders (Fr. décrets), be they a presidential order or an order-in-council, or ministerial orders (Fr. arrêtés), issued either in matters where the Constitution allows primary legislation from the Council, or usually as delegated legislation supplementing a statute.
In the French justice system, the word can also refer to a summary ruling made by a single judge for simple cases.
