    Judgment of the Paris Court of Appeal, Division 1 - Chamber 2 in the case 15/02650 dated 18 June 2015

    Paris Court of Appeal, Division 1 - Chamber 2

    Decision summary
    The Paris Court of Appeal upheld the appeal on jurisdiction, declared the Paris Commercial Court incompetent to hear CMO and Monsieur [O] [I]'s claims against SNC Lavalin International because the five Moroccan project contracts contained ICC arbitration clauses, and declared the Paris Commercial Court incompetent in favour of the Commercial Court of Créteil for the claims against SNC Lavalin. It referred CMO and Monsieur [O] [I] to seek relief elsewhere as against SNC Lavalin International and awarded costs and Article 700 sums.
