French Court of Cassation
- Decision summary
- The Court of Cassation held that the public-policy condition for recognition or exequatur of a foreign judgment under Article 26 of the France-Senegal Convention is international public policy, not domestic public policy. It quashed the 29 April 1974 Bourges order, which had limited the effect of the Dakar bankruptcy judgment as to the date of cessation of payments, and remitted the case to the President of the Tribunal de grande instance of Orléans.
