    Judgment of the French Court of Cassation, Commercial, Financial and Economic Chamber dated 13 May 2014

    French Court of Cassation, Commercial, Financial and Economic Chamber

    Decision summary
    The Court of Cassation partly quashed the Aix-en-Provence judgment insofar as it fixed China Shipping Containers Ltd’s claim in Établissements Fontvieille’s liquidation at EUR 642,492, because the court had to remain within the amount declared, and remanded that issue to a differently composed Aix-en-Provence Court of Appeal. It rejected the challenge to the carriers’ good-faith exercise of their rights of retention and privilege.
