CD Paris, May 10, 2024, Order re Preliminary objection, UPC_CFI_589997/2023

2 min Reading time

Key takeaways

Lack of jurisdiction can occur when a different court or a different body (as an arbitration board) which is part of a different judicial system have the power to address the dispute (‘relative’ lack of jurisdiction) or when the situation brought to courts is not even abstractly configurable as a protectable right, pertaining to the administrative or the legislative power (‘absolute’ lack of jurisdiction).

None of these applies in the case of a standstill agreement according to which a party has to inform the other party of the intention to file a lawsuit a certain time before the lawsuit is filed.

The assessment of whether there is a lack of jurisdiction must be based on objective criteria and must not vary depending on the time of the filing of a claim or on the identity of the claimant.
