French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber
- Decision summary
- The Court of Cassation quashed the Amiens Court of Appeal judgment in all its provisions because the court had not answered Scana Volda's argument that the dispute was related to the 6 December 2001 propulsion-system supply agreement containing the arbitration clause. It remanded the case to the Paris Court of Appeal and ordered Euronor to pay the costs and EUR 3,000 to Scana Volda under Article 700 of the French Code of Civil Procedure.
