Decision of the French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber in the case A 18-15.666 dated 26 June 2019
French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber
- Citation
- Decision No. 10388 F
- Decision summary
- The Court of Cassation rejected Clariant AG and Clariant Production France's appeal concerning the jurisdiction of the Mulhouse tribunal over claims against STEIH and Novartis Pharma AG. The decision left standing the ruling that the French state court was incompetent for claims connected with the 1980 framework agreement and the 24 December 1982 contract, in light of the potentially applicable arbitration clause and the pending Basel arbitration.
