    Judgment of the Paris Court of Appeal in case 15/12614 dated 27 September 2016

    Paris Court of Appeal

    Case no.
    15/12614
    Decision summary
    The Paris Court of Appeal set aside the 4 June 2015 exequatur order and rejected recognition and enforcement in France of the 6 May 2015 London award. It held that enforcing the award would manifestly, effectively and concretely violate French international public policy because the award would give Indagro the benefit of a corrupt arrangement. The court declared inadmissible the request concerning the separate 13 April 2016 exequatur order and ordered Indagro to pay EUR 50,000 under article 700 of the French Code of Civil Procedure.
