PARIS, June 8 (Reuters) - Shares in French care homes
operator Korian  KORI.PA  fell on Wednesday after the Le
Parisien paper reported that Korian could face further legal
complaints over the way it handles its care homes.
    Korian shares were down 3.9% in early session trading, the
worst performer on France's SBF-120  .SBF120  equity index.
    "The newspaper Le Parisien, in its edition of June 8,
reports that some complaints would have been filed by a lawyer,
Ms Sarah Saldmann, on behalf of relatives of former residents of
Korian facilities in France. Since Ms Saldmann never contacted
the company about those complaints, Korian is not informed of
their content and cannot make any comment at this stage," said
Korian in response to the article.
