    Judgment of the French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber, in case U 24-18.329 dated 11 February 2026

    French Court of Cassation, First Civil Chamber

    Decision summary
    The Court of Cassation partially quashed the Rouen Court of Appeal's 29 May 2024 judgment, which had rejected the G spouses' request to sell the jointly owned property alone and treated their sale of their share to W as perfected on 7 April 2021. It held that, after the parties abandoned arbitration and brought the dispute before a state court, Rome I permitted a choice only of state law; applying the non-state rabbinical rule of God et Igoud therefore violated the cited provisions. The case was remitted to the Paris Court of Appeal, while the rulings rejecting claims for dilatory or abusive proceedings were preserved; W was ordered to pay costs and EUR 3,000 under article 700 of the French Code of Civil Procedure.
