    Paris Court of Appeal, 23 January 2024, RG 22/16431, No. 11/2024
    Decision summary
    The Paris Court of Appeal rejected GBO's application to set aside the 13 June 2022 ad hoc award. It held that GBO had not shown that the distribution contract gave effect to an anti-competitive agreement or that recognition or enforcement of the award violated French international public policy. GBO was ordered to pay EUR 15,000 to CA International, EUR 5,000 to CA Finance, and the costs.
