    RG 21/07383; Portalis 35L7-V-B7F-CDQE6
    Decision summary
    The Paris Court of Appeal rejected AMT Cameroun, AMT Suisse, and Privinvest's applications to set aside the final ICC award of 31 March 2021. It held that the tribunal was competent to decide the contractual pre-emption dispute and the requested nullity of the first transfer deed, and found no manifest violation of French international public policy concerning collective-proceedings jurisdiction, AMT Suisse's property rights, or its separate legal personality. The appellants were ordered jointly and severally to pay Ms [W] EUR 100,000 under Article 700 of the French Code of Civil Procedure and to bear the costs.
