Commentary on the Paris Court of Appeal judgment of 2 June 2026
In a judgment dated 2 June 2026, the Paris Court of Appeal confirmed that international public policy cannot be used as a back door to reviewing the merits of an arbitral award.
🔎 The Court dismissed the application to set aside the award under Article 1520(5) of the French Code of Civil Procedure. In particular, allegations of procedural fraud or fictitious or unlawful transactions could not justify reconsidering factual and evidential matters already determined by the arbitral tribunal.
