Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber

- Cass., 1re civ., 15 May 2024, no. 221 F-D
- Decision summary
- The Court of Cassation set aside the Paris Court of Appeal's refusal to grant exequatur to the arbitral award and decided the matter without remand. It held that exequatur limited to recognition of the amount of the claim established by the award for purposes of the insolvency proceedings did not violate French international public policy, and confirmed the Paris Judicial Court order to that extent.
