    Judgment of the French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber dated 11 May 2012

    French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber

    Decision summary
    The Court of Cassation quashed in full the Amiens Court of Appeal judgment that had rejected Ekato's arbitration and German-jurisdiction objections and referred the case to the Amiens Commercial Court. It held that the order confirmation referred to Ekato's general conditions containing an arbitration clause, that the reference was brought to Ajinomoto's attention, and that Ajinomoto accepted it by remaining silent. The Court quashed without remand, referred the parties to pursue their claims appropriately, and ordered the identified insurers to bear the relevant costs.
