Auchan Appeals Job-Cut Ruling to France's Top Court

Jan 7 (Reuters) - French supermarket group Auchan said it was taking a ruling that blocked its plan to cut 2,400 jobs to France's top administrative court, after a French court rejected its appeal on Wednesday.

Auchan said the court's decision to reject the appeal, which it was based on procedural issues, was "legally incomprehensible" and contestable in the highest court.
