    Judgment of the Paris Court of Appeal in the cases RG 21/11615 and RG 21/18450 dated 6 December 2022

    Paris Court of Appeal

    Case no.
    RG 21/11615 and RG 21/18450
    Decision summary
    The Court joined the two appeals against the Paris Judicial Court's 9 April 2021 exequatur order, excluded late submissions, and set the order aside. It held that the arbitral tribunal had wrongly assumed jurisdiction over the three former directors because their personal consent to the arbitration agreement was not established, and ordered [C] [W] to pay costs and EUR 30,000 to the Eckes companies and EUR 10,000 to each former director under Article 700 of the French Code of Civil Procedure.
