Judgment of the French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber, No. 1030 F-D in case B 18-23.395 dated 4 December 2019
French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber
- Decision summary
- The Court of Cassation rejected RSCC's appeal and upheld the decision that the Paris Commercial Court had jurisdiction over HFC's claims. The court held that the arbitration clauses in the 4 October 2001 and 11 March 2002 contracts were manifestly inapplicable to the claims arising exclusively from the separate tripartite 11 July 2002 pledge contract, which provided for the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Paris Commercial Court.
