    Decision summary
    The Court of Cassation dismissed Mr Edouard Louis X...'s appeal from the Paris Court of Appeal's rejection of his challenge to the first-instance court's jurisdiction. It held that the arbitration clause was not manifestly void because the promise concerning the remaining 20% of shares formed part of a global transaction aimed at transferring full control of the company.
