PARIS (Reuters) - Paris's university housing body is allowed to reserve more than 2,000 student apartments for Olympics workers next summer, France's highest administrative court ruled on Friday after a lower court initially suspended the measure.

No applicable laws go against the decision to end student leases in some student housing blocks on June 30 to shelter staff needed for the forthcoming Olympic and Paralympic Summer Games, the Conseil d'Etat said in its decision sent to Reuters on Saturday.
