Question juridique clé
Whether the case met the requirements for clear-case summary proceedings under Art. 257 CPC despite foreign-law objections.
Solution extraite
Yes. The defendant's objections based on Canadian law were not sufficiently convincing to prevent summary adjudication; the legal situation remained clear.
Motifs extraits
A party cannot block clear-case proceedings by raising speculative foreign-law arguments that are not promptly and decisively rebuttable, especially where the foreign-law objection is used defensively to evade an otherwise undisputed obligation.
