Against.
The appeal for summary suspension by Tony Parker and his company Infinity Nine Mountain (INM), by which the ex-basketball player contested his eviction in a procedure to take over the ski resort of Les Gets (Haute-Savoie), was rejected, we learned Thursday from the Grenoble administrative court.
The candidacy of the former sportsman turned businessman was opposed to that of Sagets, the historic operator of the resort's ski lifts and of which the commune of Les Gets is the majority shareholder.
At the beginning of January, the municipality canceled by municipal decision the public service delegation (DSP) procedure previously entrusted to Sagets.
She had declared the procedure “no further action” to decide to form a local public company (SPL) with a neighboring municipality which would take over the management of the ski lifts.
The INM company had requested the emergency suspension of this municipal decision, but its request was rejected by the administrative court on the grounds that there was “no serious doubt” as to the legality of this deliberation.
A decision on the merits awaited
“The procedure will be able to continue peacefully, and the SPL in formation will indeed be the new operator,” welcomed the lawyer for the commune of Les Gets, Michaël Karpenschif.
The administrative court must nevertheless render a decision on the merits as well, ruling on an appeal for annulment of the municipal decision of the commune of Les Gets carried out by INM.
The lawyer for Tony Parker and his company INM did not immediately respond to AFP.
