The anti-pesticide order taken by the mayor of Alfortville is suspended by the judge of summary proceedings on 8/11/2019. On February 14, 2020, the Paris Court of Appeal confirms the suspension of the municipal order.

The order banning the use of pesticides on the territory of the municipality issued by the mayor of Alfortville is challenged by the prefect of Val-de-Marne, Raymond Le Deun, on the grounds that this measure does not fall within the remit of a mayor, but of the Minister for Agriculture. The hearings of the Administrative Court of Melun took place on 18 October 2019. The order is suspended by the interim relief judge on 11/8/2019. The mayor of Alfortville appeals. After a hearing on 5 February, the Paris Court of Appeal confirms the decision of the Melun Administrative Court on 14 February 2020.
