    Paris Court of Appeal, 5 September 2023, RG 21/16899, No. 66/2023
    Decision summary
    The Paris Court of Appeal set aside the 12 February 2018 exequatur order and rejected recognition of the 27 March 2017 arbitral award. It held that the State of Libya had not validly consented to arbitration because the alleged representative lacked authority to conclude an arbitration agreement, and ordered Hospital of [5] to pay EUR 50,000 under Article 700 of the French Code of Civil Procedure and the costs.
