Conseil d’État to decide Berck-sur-Mer casino property dispute
France’s Conseil d’État is to determine the status of the Berck-sur-Mer casino building after disputes over the concession and conflicting lower-court rulings. Jean Metz SAS, which owns the building, contests a ruling that treated it as a public asset to be transferred to the municipality when the contract ends; the municipality has also sought the Conseil d’État’s review.
The ruling could determine ownership of the casino building when the operating contract ends.
