Bouygues: Decision of the First President of the Paris Court of
Appeal on the immediate execution of the Commercial Court's ruling
of 9 February 2023
Decision of the
First President of the Paris
Court of Appeal on the
immediate execution of
the Commercial Court's
ruling of 9
February 2023
Paris, April
6, 2023 - Bouygues recalls that in the
dispute concerning the smartphone plus mobile plan bundled offers,
Bouygues Telecom was ordered to pay €308 million in damages to Free
Mobile by a ruling of the Paris Commercial Court on 9 February
2023.
Given that it believes the "immediate execution
of the ruling" was based on an inapplicable text, Bouygues Telecom
referred the matter to the First President of the Paris Court of
Appeal.
By an order of 5 April 2023, the First President
of the Paris Court of Appeal stated that it is not within his
jurisdiction to analyse whether the first judges ordered the
immediate execution of the ruling on the basis of an inapplicable
text, as this question refers to the merits of the case.
He also dismissed Bouygues Telecom's request to
stop the immediate execution, considering that there was no
evidence that it was impossible to enforce the ruling.
Although Bouygues Telecom still disputes the
validity of this immediate execution, Free Mobile has indicated its
intention to enforce the ruling. The risk for Bouygues Telecom of
having to pay out the above-mentioned amount in the short term is
therefore high.
Bouygues Telecom believes that it has always
acted in strict compliance with the law and for the benefit of its
customers and considers that its bundled offers are legal. Bouygues
Telecom had lodged an appeal against the Commercial Court’s ruling
on 9 February 2023 and the proceedings are continuing on the merits
of the case and on the validity of the immediate execution.
