    Order No. 90816 of the French Court of Cassation, First Presidency in the case G 22-13.596 dated 6 July 2023

    French Court of Cassation, First Presidency

    Case no.
    G 22-13.596
    Decision summary
    The Court of Cassation rejected the Ministry of Oil and Minerals of the Republic of Yemen and Yemen Oil & Gas Corporation / The Yemen Company's request to remove DNO Yemen AS's appeal from the register for non-payment of a EUR 200,000 costs order. It held that non-payment of an Article 700 costs award, without demonstrated exceptional circumstances, did not justify striking the appeal and would disproportionately impair access to the court of cassation.
