French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber
- Citation
- Arrêt n° 754 FS-D
- Decision summary
- The Court of Cassation rejected Bonna Sabla's appeal. It held that the absence of prescription for an action for exequatur does not make the action perpetual, because the originating state's limitation rules affect enforceability and enforcement in France remains subject to the statutory enforcement period. It upheld the Versailles Court of Appeal's finding that the Casablanca judgment was internationally regular and enforceable in France, including its principal debt and legal interest.
