Key legal question
Whether the French appellate judgment of 20 May 2009 was enforceable in Switzerland under the Lugano Convention 1988.
Extracted holding
The judgment was enforceable in Switzerland under the 1988 Lugano Convention.
Extracted reasoning
The relevant judgment had taken effect in France; the opposition procedure did not prevent enforceability, and the applicable convention was the 1988 version because the decision was rendered before the 2007 Convention took effect for Switzerland.
