Judgment of the French Court of Cassation concerning exequatur of an Algerian judgment
French Court of Cassation
- Decision summary
- The French Court of Cassation quashed the Paris Court of Appeal's exequatur ruling. It held that Article 15 of the French Civil Code protected the French defendant's right to be sued before French courts and that failing to appear before the Algerian court did not waive that protection; it remanded the case to the Rouen Court of Appeal.
