Judgment of the French Court of Cassation concerning Bonnieux and Mediterranean Shipping Geneva (MSG)
French Court of Cassation
- Decision summary
- The Court of Cassation quashed the Aix-en-Provence Court of Appeal's ruling insofar as it concerned Mediterranean Shipping Geneva (MSG), held the French courts incompetent to hear the claims against MSG, and decided that no remittal was required. It held that the unsigned bill of lading did not establish the shipper's acceptance of the arbitration clause and that MSG's Marseille representation did not amount to residence under the France-Switzerland Convention.
