- Decision summary
- The French Court of Cassation rejected GAN incendie accidents' appeal in the subrogated reimbursement dispute arising from compensation paid to Japanese tourists injured in a 1991 New Caledonia excursion accident. It held that GAN, having declined to participate in the Japanese conciliation proceedings despite being invited, could not rely on its non-appearance to challenge the French effect of the judge-homologated settlement records; GAN was ordered to pay costs and EUR 2,300 to Axa and Club Méditerranée under article 700.
