In France, judicial proceedings taken by a government department against an employee who has committed a fault for which the department has been found liable by a court of law.

OBS

In England such an action would be founded on tort and described as an action for contribution or indemnity. The French term "action de recours" would seem to include actions of this kind which are founded on contract as well e.g. an "action en garantie", action to enforce a warranty, where it concerns peaceful possession, and an "action cambiaire", action on a negotiable instrument, where it is taken against a liable on the instrument who is not the person dishonouring it.
