Decision of the French Court of Cassation concerning the Y... and X... parties
French Court of Cassation
Decision summary
The Court of Cassation rejected the appeal against the Reims Court of Appeal's refusal to grant exequatur to the Lugano arbitral award. It held that the arbitrators had decided after the arbitration agreement expired, despite express extensions through 29 October 1979, which independently justified refusal of recognition and enforcement.
