French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber
- Citation
- Arrêt No. 79 F-D
- Decision summary
- The Court joined six appeals because of their connexity, ordered correction of a material error in the operative part of the case-management order, and rejected the appeals. It held that the arbitration clause in the Infineon–Rutronik distribution contract was not manifestly inapplicable across the chain of contracts concerning defective power-supply cards, so the dispute was properly referred to arbitration under the DIS Rules.
