    Arrêt n° 267 F-B
    Decision summary
    The Court of Cassation quashed the Paris Court of Appeal's judgment of 12 July 2021, holding that an appeal against an exequatur order for a foreign arbitral award does not prevent the court from examining objections to the admissibility of the exequatur application. It remanded the case and parties to the Versailles Court of Appeal, ordered M. [P] to pay costs, rejected his Article 700 claim, and ordered him to pay EUR 3,000 jointly to Citigroup Global Markets and M. [D].
