Judgment of the French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber dated 21 November 2012
French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber
- Decision summary
- The French Court of Cassation quashed the Paris Court of Appeal judgment that had annulled Cameroon Tea Estates' recourse against the arbitral sentence and declared that recourse inadmissible. It held that an erroneous indication of the organ legally representing a legal person is a formal defect whose nullity requires proof of prejudice, and remanded the case to the Versailles Court of Appeal.
