    Judgment of the French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber dated 12 January 1994

    French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber

    Decision summary
    The court rejected Audio-Prestige's appeal. It held that a foreign judgment need not be reasoned according to the procedural requirements of the state where enforcement is sought, and that supporting documents could provide an equivalent basis for reviewing the Brussels Convention refusal grounds; recognition of the Belgian judgment therefore did not violate French international public policy.
