    Judgment of the French Court of Cassation

    French Court of Cassation

    Decision summary
    The French Court of Cassation rejected the appeal against the 15 December 1980 ICC award. It held that the New York Convention did not apply to an action seeking annulment rather than enforcement of a foreign arbitral award, and declared Bendone Derossi International's claim for 7,000 French francs in costs inadmissible because its defence memorial was filed after the two-month deadline.
