Restrictive agreements

CA Paris, 16 November 2023, No 20/03434

Fine
The principle of individual examination of sanctions, which implies that only the difficulties encountered personally by the undertaking should be taken into consideration, excludes the possibility of invoking the consequences of the Covid crisis as mitigating circumstances.

Unfair commercial practices
Claims made by an undertaking concerning the merits of a standard technology designed by a third party, or concerning the quality of its own antennas, not presented as the best products on the market but as belonging with others to this category, which are the result of a customary, and therefore admissible, commercial hyperbole, do not constitute a misleading commercial practice.
CA Paris, 8 November 2023, No 22/20535

Unfair terms
Where a term which contains a stipulation that is separable from the other stipulations of that term and capable of being the subject of an individual examination of its unfairness, the removal of which would make it possible to restore real balance between the parties without affecting the substance of the contract concerned, Article 6(1) of Directive No 93/13 does not mean that that term, or even that contract, should be declared invalid in its entirety.
