Judgment of the French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber dated 11 June 1991
French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber
- Decision summary
- The Court of Cassation rejected JP. Beemsterboer BV's appeal and upheld the refusal to enforce a Belgian arbitral award. It held that the Rennes Court of Appeal did not have to answer an argument that had not been made before it, and that the finding that witnesses had been heard outside the parties' presence was not hypothetical reasoning; the adversarial-process issue therefore supported refusal of enforcement.
