    Case no.
    RG 22/15255
    Citation
    No. 87/2023
    Decision summary
    The court rejected in full IASC and [C] [V]'s application to set aside the 18 July 2022 ICC arbitral award, holding that the challenge to the tribunal's constitution was partly inadmissible and otherwise unfounded, that the arbitrator had no disclosure obligation concerning her participation in an ICC France webinar, and that the tribunal had jurisdiction over [C] [V]. It rejected Airbus's claim that the set-aside application was abusive, ordered IASC and [C] [V] to pay Airbus EUR 20,000 under Article 700 of the French Code of Civil Procedure, and ordered them to pay the costs.
