    Judgment of the Paris Court of Appeal, Pôle 1, Chamber 1, in case 08/23901 dated 25 March 2010

    Paris Court of Appeal, Pôle 1, Chamber 1

    Case no.
    08/23901
    Decision summary
    The court annulled the 10 October 2008 arbitral award because the tribunal substituted compensation for loss of chance for the loss-of-profit compensation claimed by OMI without inviting the parties to address that new basis, violating the principle of adversarial proceedings. It ordered Overseas Mining Investments Ltd to pay Commercial Caribbean Niquel SA EUR 80,000 under Article 700 of the French Code of Civil Procedure and the costs.
