The dispute between the town hall of Ecquevilly and its former HR director is being played out in court. In January 2022, seven agents filed a complaint for harassment before launching collective proceedings.
The judges, if they considered that the two-year layoff pronounced against him was disproportionate, consider in fact that Noual “does not provide the elements likely to make it presume the existence of harassment”. But for the mayor (without a label), it must above all be seen as the work of a “clan” unhappy with the change in political color.
