Judgment No. 629 F-D of the French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber, in case Q 17-22.115 dated 4 July 2018
French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber
- Citation
- Judgment No. 629 F-D
- Decision summary
- The Court of Cassation partially quashed the Caen Court of Appeal judgment insofar as it required Honeywell Materials of Friction to indemnify Valeo for sums imposed in the workers' asbestos-anxiety claims. It remitted that issue to the Paris Court of Appeal, ordered Valeo to pay the costs, and rejected the requests under Article 700 of the French Code of Civil Procedure. The Court held that the appeal court had not examined whether the Purchase Agreement's environmental, occupational-safety, and health guarantees affected Valeo's indemnity claim.
