observations under

Explanation:
As far as I understand, "obs" here is an abbreviation for "observations." Meaning further comments on a decision can be found according to the date given in the citation.

From Dictionnaire du droit privé français:

"Obs. Observations - commentaires doctrinal à la suite de la publication d'une décision de justice"
