    Decision summary
    The French Court of Cassation rejected Eiffage's appeal challenging the date and signatures of the international arbitral award rendered in Paris in its dispute with Butec. It held that those criticisms were not grounds for annulment and that the award was rendered within the arbitration period despite the arbitrators signing it on different dates.
