Carrefour: Paris Court of Appeal Validates Arbitration Clauses Against Franchisees
The Paris Court of Appeal has issued a ruling in favor of Carrefour in the dispute with the Carrefour Franchisees Association (AFC) this Wednesday, confirming the full validity of the arbitration clauses in the contracts between the group and its franchise partners.
The Paris Court of Appeal has overturned the initial judgment made by the Rennes Commercial Court. It confirms the validity of the arbitration clauses included in all contracts linking Carrefour to its partners and declares the Rennes court incompetent to handle the claims made by the AFC. Carrefour has acknowledged this decision with satisfaction, describing it as a major step in this litigation.
