At the same time, three new judges were appointed to the Trial Court. They are Thierry Deschanels (former vice-president of the court of justice in Bourg-en-Bresse), Anne-Sophie Houbart (former vice-president of the court of justice in Toulon) and Patrice Fey (former vice-president of the court of justice in Thonon-les-Bains).
