    Judgment of the French Court of Cassation

    French Court of Cassation

    Decision summary
    The Court of Cassation partially quashed the Lyon Court of Appeal's exequatur judgment because the exequatur judge could not add FRF 10,000 in damages to the arbitral award. It upheld the rulings that the exequatur application was admissible against Mr Y... and that the arbitration clause referred to the Foreign Trade Arbitration Court at the Yugoslav Chamber of Commerce.
