Judgment of the Paris Court of Appeal, International Commercial Chamber, in case RG 21/16901 dated 5 September 2023
Paris Court of Appeal, International Commercial Chamber, Pole 5, Chamber 16
- Decision summary
- The court overturned the 12 February 2018 exequatur order and rejected recognition of the 27 March 2017 arbitral judgment because the State of Libya had not validly consented to arbitration and the sole arbitrator therefore lacked jurisdiction. Sysmed Travel was ordered to pay the costs and EUR 50,000 under Article 700 of the French Code of Civil Procedure.
