Change in the leadership of the commercial court
Table of Contents
Friday January 24, at 4 pm, at a solemn hearing, Jean-Marie Albouy will officially leave the presidency of the commercial court of Nîmes. Marie-France Bancel will succeed. “It’s teamwork with 37 judges that holds up,” emphasizes Jean-Marie Albouy. The latter will be able to spend more on his work as a member of the ethics college with the national council of commercial courts (until December 2028). At 76 years old, the president of the commercial court says that these years as president have been very rich on a human level. “In my 16 years, I have done prevention to stabilize businesses.”
Mazan’s forced trial, towards an appeal to Nîmes?
While Mazan’s coercion trial continues in Avignon, some defendants are likely to contest the conviction and a new trial will be held within the jurisdiction of the Nîmes Court of Appeal. Usually, appeal trials from Avignon are judged in Nîmes and those from Nîmes are judged on appeal before the Vaucluse mass or the regional criminal court. Which suggests that the rape trial and the 50 accused could see part of the case tried in theory in Nîmes. But several informed sources have mentioned another route in recent days in the city of Antonins. If there is an appeal by the accused, the trial could be held again in Avignon, but with magistrates from Nîmes.“This will all depend on the sentences handed down,” notes a criminal lawyer who weighs between holding the accused pre-trial which will be taken out of the sentence handed down. The lawyer also mentions the absence of a security sentence that could allow some accused to leave prison mid-sentence and get a conditional release. “Which might make them appeal”notes this experienced lawyer.
Costières stadium project: the appeal of Rani Assaf uncertain in Toulouse
In September 2023, the Cnac (national commercial development commission) issued an unfavorable opinion on the new stadium and regional project led by SAS Nemau at Rani Assaf. In January, the owner of Nîmes Olympique filed an appeal against the refusal of a building permit issued by the city after the Cnac decision. This will be reviewed in 2025, although we don’t have a date yet. However, we know that the file, which was to be examined by the administrative appeals court of Paris, was transferred to Toulouse, with the dates of Occitan jurisdiction shorter than those of Francilienne. In the meantime, the lawn, or wild grass, is growing within the grounds of Costières.
Jean-Luc Chapon ready to go
The oldest mayor still in office in Gard (with the first councilor of Fourques Gilles Dumas), Jean-Luc Chapon, who will celebrate his 83rd birthday next January, has to be at the head of the Uzès association since 1983. And going beyond leaving again, according to those around him, for a new mandate in 2026: “He has the political bug,” admits a close friend, praises his desire and longevity.
In good shape… Marie Dufresne at the head of the CGT
A woman was elected secretary of the CGT Gard branch union, the first in the history of the union branch! Her name is Marie Dufresne, 41 years old. An agent at the tax site in Nîmes, she was secretary general of the public finance of the CGT department. She succeeds with Bruno Rivier. Marie Dufresne will not lack hot news next week with a strike in the civil service, then among the railway workers a few days later, not forgetting the movement to save the industry in Salindres, in front of the Solvay factory, December 12. Energetic introduction.

## Expert interview: Potential Impacts of mazan Trial Appeal on Nîmes Court System
**World Today News Exclusive Interview**
* **interviewer:** Sarah Jones*
* **expert:** *Jean-Pierre Dubois, Professor of Legal Studies at the University of Montpellier*
**(Sarah Jones)** Professor Dubois, thank you for joining us today. The ongoing forced trial in Avignon, involving the Mazan case and 50 accused individuals, may see an appeal leading to proceedings in Nîmes. What are the potential implications of such a scenario for the already bustling Nîmes Court of Appeal?
**(Professor Dubois)** It’s a complex situation, Sarah. While appeals from Avignon typically land in Nîmes, the sheer scale of the Mazan case, with 50 defendants and exceptionally high public interest, could pose unprecedented challenges for the Nîmes Court system.
**(Sarah Jones)** You mentioned challenges. Could you elaborate on what those might be?
**(Professor Dubois)** Firstly, resource allocation. A trial of this magnitude demands significant judicial,administrative,and security personnel. The Nîmes Court already has a hefty workload, and accommodating this trial could strain its existing resources.
**(Sarah jones)** And what about the logistical considerations? The article suggests the possibility of Nîmes magistrates presiding over a retrial in Avignon. What are your thoughts on that?
**(Professor Dubois)** That’s a novel approach,likely aimed at mitigating logistical hurdles while ensuring an impartial trial. However, it raises questions about jurisdiction and the potential perception of “outsider” judges handling a case so deeply rooted in Avignon’s community.
**(Sarah Jones)** The article also mentions potential variations in sentencing if the case is transferred. What are the key issues at play here?
**(Professor Dubois)** The sentencing guidelines may vary slightly between jurisdictions.
**(Special Note for Editor:** This portion could be expanded by providing specific examples of potential sentencing variations relevant to the case, based on Professor dubois’ expertise.)
**(Sarah Jones)** Professor dubois,many people are closely watching the Mazan trial and its potential ramifications. What message do you have for them regarding the judicial process underway?
**(Professor Dubois)** It is crucial to remember that the presumption of innocence remains paramount. Every defendant deserves a fair and impartial trial, regardless of the public’s perception or the complexities of the case. The legal system, while navigating these challenges, must uphold its core principles of justice and due process.
**(Sarah Jones)** Thank you for sharing your insights, Professor Dubois.
**(end of Interview)**
**Editor’s Note:** This interview provides expert commentary on the potential impact of the Mazan trial appeal on the Nîmes Court system. The inclusion of specific examples related to sentencing variations would further enrich the piece and highlight Professor Dubois’ expertise.
