    Judgment of the French Court of Cassation

    French Court of Cassation

    Decision summary
    The Court of Cassation partially quashed the Aix-en-Provence judgment. It held that a French court could not alter the fixed amount of a foreign-currency judgment, and that an offer to pay did not stop legal interest without consignation; the case was remanded on the interest issue.
