Judgment of the French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber, in appeal no. D 15-29.158 dated 4 May 2017
French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber
- Citation
- Cass. civ. 1, 4 May 2017, no. 532 FS-P+B
- Decision summary
- The Court of Cassation rejected Groupe Antoine Y…’s appeal against the Versailles Court of Appeal’s refusal to annul ICC sentence no. 4. It held that the tribunal president’s undisclosed business relationships with the Total group did not create a reasonable doubt about independence or impartiality because TEP Congo was not a party and the arbitration had no financial effect on it, and that the tribunal had not exceeded its mission in addressing the alleged concealed repayment schedule and the provisional measures. Groupe Antoine Y… was condemned to costs and its request under article 700 of the French Code of Civil Procedure was rejected.
