This time it’s over. Laurent Baffie won his case in court in the war which opposed him to Jérôme Hosszu since 2015. The comedian, now 64 years old, had received a building permit for a 179 m² chalet in Vars, a village in the Hautes-Alpes (in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur), but one of its future neighbors was clearly not thrilled with the upcoming project. He had taken legal action and, after 7 years of proceedings, he lost before the Council of State.
This is the site of Capital which echoes this news this Monday, May 16. Jérôme Hosszu, who has been living in Vars since 2008 and owns no less than six chalets that he rents out to vacationers, has therefore lost his battle. This man had not seen with a good eye the project of construction of the chalet of Laurent Baffie, close to his, complaining then of inconveniences to come from the style “loss of sight, privacy and living environment“. In 2015, when the mayor at the time, Jean-Pierre Boulet, granted a building permit to the regular resident of the Big heads from RTL, the annoyed neighbor decides to poke his nose into Laurent Baffie’s business. He thus affirms that the permit in question does not respect the code of town planning nor the local plan of town planning “on ten points“, evoking as an example “the road to be built to connect the chalet to the secondary road“.
Jérôme Hosszu then tries to derail the project and asks “a gracious appeal to the mayor, but in vain.“Nothing to slow him down. He then decided to seize the administrative court of Marseille… and it was a new failure since he was dismissed in 2019 even if the “judges admitted that the consultation of the architect of the Buildings of France was irregular.“The judges cancel the building permit and order the mayor to grant a new one within four months,”what he did on December 24, 2019“Stubborn, Jérôme Hosszu appeals. And it’s a fiasco again.”In June 2021, the Marseille administrative court of appeal ruled the initial permit regular, dismissed it in turn and ordered it to pay 2,000 euros in procedural costs to Laurent Baffie and the same to the town hall.“, can we read. Refusing to admit defeat in the face of the comedian with a very changed physique since a cosmetic surgery operation, the plaintiff attempted a final maneuver before the Council of State, but the latter also dismissed him. .
