French court rules on the moral rights of well-known architect Jean Nouvel
On 5 September 2016, the French Court of Jurisdictional Conflicts (Tribunal des Conflits) issued a decision with respect to the extent of the authority of competent courts to hear disputes related to the infringement of moral copyrights of architects involved in the construction or renovation of public buildings, reports www.lexology.com.

This decision was rendered within the frame of a legal dispute initiated by the well-known French architect Jean Nouvel against the owner of the Paris Philharmonie, a concert hall commissioned by the French State and the city of Paris. Jean Nouvel designed the Paris Philharmonie, which opened in Paris in 2015.

Taking the view that the owner of the Philharmonie had modified and thus defiled his architectural work, Jean Nouvel had sued the former before the Paris Court of First Instance (civil court) asking the court to order the owner to perform all works necessary for the restoration of his work so as to comply with the architectural plans he had initially drawn.
