Judgment of the Paris Court of Appeal, International Commercial Chamber, Division 5, Chamber 16, in RG 22/07777 dated 4 April 2023
Paris Court of Appeal, International Commercial Chamber, Division 5, Chamber 16
- Decision summary
- The court rejected Bunge Geneva's application to set aside the 18 March 2022 partial arbitral award. It held that the contract's references to the Incograin 13 and Synacomex 2000 conditions expressed a separable choice of arbitration according to the nature of the dispute, and that the dispute concerned a grain-sale contract falling within the CAIP clause; Bunge Geneva was ordered to pay costs and EUR 20,000 under article 700 of the French Code of Civil Procedure.

Judgment of the French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber, in case U 23-16.876 dated 19 June 2024
French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber
- Citation
- Arrêt No. 352 F-D
- Decision summary
- The Court of Cassation rejected Bunge Geneva's appeal from the Paris Court of Appeal judgment. It upheld the conclusion that the dispute concerned a French milling-wheat supply contract and therefore fell within the Incograin 13 arbitration clause designating the CAIP; Bunge Geneva was ordered to pay costs, while the requests under article 700 of the French Code of Civil Procedure were rejected.
