    Judgment of the Paris Court of Appeal in cases RG 10/06953 and 10/24658 dated 21 February 2012

    Paris Court of Appeal, Division 1 - Chamber 1

    Case no.
    RG 10/06953; joined with RG 10/24658
    Decision summary
    The court joined the two appeals and declared them admissible. It annulled the partial award of 16 February 2010 and its addendum of 27 September 2010 because the arbitral tribunal was irregularly constituted, rejected Garoube's claims, and ordered Garoube to pay Cameroon EUR 20,000 under Article 700 of the French Code of Civil Procedure, as well as the costs.
