    Judgment of the French Court of Cassation

    French Court of Cassation

    Decision summary
    The court rejected the appeal against the Paris Court of Appeal's decision granting exequatur in France to the Djidjelli judgment ordering the Société civile du Domaine d'El Hannser to repay Banque Nationale d'Algérie's advances. It held that the foreign proceedings respected international public policy and the defendant's rights of defence, and that any misclassification of the Algerian default judgment did not prejudice an available ordinary appeal.
