Key legal question
Whether Swiss courts had jurisdiction under the Lugano Convention or LDIP to order provisional measures against the French respondent.
Extracted holding
The Geneva court was not arbitrarily wrong in finding no Swiss jurisdiction for the requested measures.
Extracted reasoning
No arbitrariness was shown in refusing a separate forum under Article 31 CL. Under Article 10 letter a LDIP, provisional measures follow jurisdiction on the merits; the alleged acts and their likely result were not credibly shown to occur in Geneva. Article 10 letter b LDIP also did not apply because the requested personal prohibitions did not require execution specifically in Switzerland.
