French Court of Cassation
- Decision summary
- The French Court of Cassation rejected Cozzi's appeal against the Aix-en-Provence Court of Appeal judgment declaring enforceable in France the Genoa Court of Appeal judgment that ordered Cozzi to pay Dame X damages arising from a traffic accident in Italy. It held that Cozzi's voluntary failure to appear before the Italian court of first instance meant that the subsequent forfeiture of his victim-fault defense did not violate his defense rights or French international public policy.
