Administrative court : a reprieve for the CICA

The hearing date of the Prefect's request which aims at cancelling immediately the managing contract has been postponed. Let's focus on the April 27th judgement which gives more flexibility in the transition.

The Administratice Court of Nice has eventually postponed the hearing date of the Prefect's request which aims at cancelling the call for tenders to the CICA and at asking the immediate breach of the managing contract which had been signed between the Council of the department and Carillion Services. This hearing had been set on Friday June 1st in the morning. No postponed date has been fixed yet.A delay which represents a kind of reprieve for the International Center for Advanced Communication. Contrary to the first judgement set last April 27th following the request of the former managing team CICom Organisation, the immediate breach of the contract was asked. It means that on June 15th, as judgements are set every two weeks, the company incubator would have risked to be without any manager (see article "CICA de Sophia : le marché pourrait être cassé dès le 15 juin").Of course, this delay does not change anything in the case : the contract will be cancelled whatever happens. But we come back to the first judgement which gives more flexibility in the transition between the breach of the contract and the coming of a new manager. The April 27th judgement gave two months to cancel the contract, but it let the possibility to ask the judge of the contract judge to make the cancellation. Because of the delay required to call for tenders at the European level, the new laureate should not be known before next October or November, what gives a slaking period of more than six months.
