    Judgment of the French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber in the case Y 19-12.701 dated 24 June 2020

    French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber

    Case no.
    Y 19-12.701
    Citation
    French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber, 24 June 2020, No. Y 19-12.701
    Decision summary
    The Court of Cassation rejected the principal and cross appeals. It held that the arbitration clause in the Kem One–Thyssenkrupp engineering contract was not manifestly inapplicable, so the state court lacked jurisdiction to determine its validity and scope; it also ordered the relevant appellants to pay costs and rejected their claims under article 700 of the French Code of Civil Procedure.
