In a decision rendered on Tuesday, June 21, the Council of State confirmed the suspension of the internal regulations of the swimming pools of the city of Grenoble authorizing the wearing of the “burkini” pronounced by the administrative court of Grenoble.
According to the interim judge of the Council of State,
"the very targeted derogation, made to satisfy a religious claim, to the rules of common law for wearing close-fitting bathing suits enacted for reasons of hygiene and safety, is likely to affect the proper functioning of the public service and the equal treatment of users under conditions undermining the principle of neutrality of public services”.
