    Judgment of the Paris Court of Appeal, International Commercial Chamber, RG 20/17978 dated 31 May 2022

    Paris Court of Appeal, International Commercial Chamber, Division 5 - Chamber 16

    Case no.
    RG 20/17978
    Decision summary
    The Paris Court of Appeal rejected the Albanian Road Administration's application to set aside the ICC final award in the joined arbitrations. It held that the tribunal had jurisdiction, that the award's recognition and enforcement did not violate international public policy, and that the VAT claim was not a ground for annulment. The court dismissed the counterclaim for abusive proceedings and ordered the Albanian Road Administration to pay EUR 150,000 under article 700 of the French Code of Civil Procedure and the costs.
