Law: Contract(s)
This is a clause in a contract on the language version that shall prevail in case of dispute. Unlike the usual phrasing of having either of the versions prevail (usually the original), this contract has the following wording: En cas de divergence entre la version anglaise et la version française, la juridiction compétente appréciera souverainement la portée des dispositions litigieuses.
