    Judgment of the Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber in joined appeals P 19-15.728 and H 19-16.711 dated 30 September 2020

    Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber

    Case no.
    P 19-15.728 and H 19-16.711
    Citation
    Cass. 1re civ., 30 September 2020, No. 560 F-D
    Decision summary
    The Court of Cassation partially quashed the Paris Court of Appeal's decision without remand. It held that the dispute arising from the replacement and analysis of the train's suspension springs was manifestly within the arbitration clause in Matisa Suisse's general conditions, but ruled that the court could only refer the parties to seek relief before the appropriate arbitral tribunal rather than designate the ICC Court of Arbitration in Paris as the referral jurisdiction.
