Judgment of the Paris Court of Appeal in the case RG 19/01346 dated 14 October 2019
Paris Court of Appeal, Division 5, Chamber 10
- Decision summary
- The Paris Court of Appeal recognized Baferton Trading Ltd’s voluntary intervention and confirmed the case-management judge’s rejection of Hakan Uzan’s objection that the Paris Regional Court lacked jurisdiction in favor of arbitration. It held that the arbitration clause in the Iota–Baferton mission letters was not opposable to Uzan, who was not a party to those contracts, remitted the parties to the case-management judge, and ordered Uzan to pay Iota Conseils EUR 10,000 under Article 700 of the French Code of Civil Procedure and the costs of the jurisdiction incident.
