    Paris Court of Appeal

    Case no.
    10/22226
    Decision summary
    The Court of Appeal rejected the jurisdictional and Dutch-law objections, held that the authors' claims for proportional remuneration, accounts and exploitation-related loss were admissible, and held that Accent Investment & Finance N.V. and Italian International Film were not producers and were outside the case. It terminated the authors' contracts with Carthago Films from 22 May 2009, awarded proportional remuneration, compensation for undeclared exploitation and moral harm to [H] [U], [V] [L] and [F] [Y], and ordered Carthago Films to provide accounts and exploitation contracts.
