    French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber, 18 March 2015, Bulletin 2015, I, No. 54
    Decision summary
    The Court of Cassation rejected Marriott's appeal concerning the 4 June 2013 procedural order, but quashed the Paris Court of Appeal's 17 December 2013 judgment that had annulled the Jnah III award. It held that the tribunal had ruled on the admissibility of the arbitration claim in light of Ziad X...'s authority to represent Jnah, rather than on the tribunal's jurisdiction, and remanded the matter to the Versailles Court of Appeal.

    Citation
    French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber, Judgment No. 1 FS-D, 10 January 2018
    Decision summary
    The Court of Cassation dismissed Ziad X... and Jnah Development SAL's appeal and upheld the refusal to annul the Jnah III award. It rejected challenges based on alleged witness inducement, non-disclosure of the settlement, breach of adversarial equality, and the characterization of the tribunal's ruling on Ziad X...'s authority as a question of admissibility rather than jurisdiction; it ordered costs and a EUR 5,000 payment to Marriott under Article 700 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
