Decision ID: 002002

In March 2007 the 1992 Fund Executive Committee noted that in February 2007 the Commercial Court in Quimper had rendered a judgement in respect of a claim by the owner of a company operating sailing boats for tourists for losses between January and September 2000 and between October 2000 and September 2001. It was noted that the Fund had agreed the losses between January and September 2000, but had rejected the claim for losses between October 2000 and September 2001 since it considered that the claimant had not suffered an economic loss. It was noted that the Court, after stating that the Funds’ admissibility criteria were not binding on national courts, had held that the claimant had not established a link of causation between the alleged loss and the contamination nor had the claimant demonstrated a loss as a result of the incident.
