    Judgment of the Grenoble Court of Appeal dated 11 July 2016

    Grenoble Court of Appeal

    Decision summary
    The Grenoble Court of Appeal held the state courts competent to hear Robin Y and AWP P&C's guarantee claim against the International Ski Federation, treating the arbitration clause in Robin Y's 2007 athlete declaration as manifestly inapplicable to the 2010 competition accident. The Court of Cassation later partially quashed that ruling.
