    Decision of the Paris Court of Appeal, Division 5 - Chamber 9 in the case RG 12/14466 dated 6 February 2014

    Paris Court of Appeal, Division 5 - Chamber 9

    Case no.
    12/14466
    Decision summary
    The court held that the state courts lacked jurisdiction over Darnell Limited's treaty claim and BNP Paribas Cardif's treaty-related and shareholder-agreement profit claims, referring those claims to arbitration. It upheld BNP Paribas Cardif's standing to pursue claims against Prévoir Vie Groupe Prévoir for partnership-related losses, but rejected damages for lack of a proven tortious fault, rejected Prévoir's abuse-of-process claim, left each party's unrecoverable costs in place, ordered BNP Paribas Cardif to pay the costs, and imposed a €3,000 civil fine.
