Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the Geneva courts had jurisdiction despite a later clause conferring jurisdiction on French courts.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The forum clause in the later account agreement did not cover the earlier credit facility, so it did not exclude Swiss jurisdiction.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under the applicable French law, the clause textually referred only to the later agreement and the parties showed no intent to submit all their relations to French courts; the credit facility remained autonomous.
