    Decision of the French Court of Cassation in the case of Dragages et travaux publics v Amadou X

    French Court of Cassation

    Decision summary
    The Court of Cassation dismissed the appeal. It held that an exequatur order can lose effect through a procedural remedy permitting renewed review of the foreign judgment's international regularity, or if a later decision in the state of origin annuls the judgment; neither circumstance displaced the French enforcement order here.
