This article presents several national court decisions in Europe. The Cour de Cassation, France's Supreme Court, recently confirmed and refined the scope of the Kompetenz-Kompetenz of arbitrators in France. The Supreme Court quashed the appeals court decision, ruling that there was no finding that an arbitration clause was either manifestly void or manifestly inapplicable.

PARIS (HedgeWorld.com) - Trying to remove the only legal blemish on his long career, hedge fund manager George Soros appealed his conviction on insider trading charges by a French court in 2002.

Mr. Soros' attorneys said after the Thursday ruling that he would appeal the case there.
