PARIS - The test of whether France's disputed language law applies to the Internet ended in fiasco yesterday when a court threw out the case on a technicality.
Two state-approved watch dogs promoting, the use of the French language had filed a complaint against the US Georgia Institute of Technology's French campus for using English only on its website. They accused Georgia Tech Lorraine of breaking a 1994 law requiring all advertising in France to be in French.
The Paris police _court dismissed the suit, saying the two private groups should have notified a public prosecutor first.
