	ScrappleFace: Schiavo Case Appealed to French High Court
		(2005-03-24) -- Anticipating that Justice Anthony Kennedy will reject a Supreme Court appeal by Terri Schiavo's parents in their daughter's right-to-eat-and-drink case, attorneys for Bob and Mary Schindler have already filed an appeal in a higher court -- the Cour de Cassation, which is France's Supreme Court of Appeals.

	MEFTAH AND OTHERS v. FRANCE - 32911/96;35237/97;34595/97 [2002] ECHR 627 (26 July 2002)
		Yet, in practice the Court of Cassation has, through its settled case-law, established a general principle of not allowing individual litigants who are not legally represented by the prescribed specialist lawyers to participate in the oral hearing, regardless of the particular circumstances of their case (see paragraphs 26 and 27 of the judgment).
		An appeal to the Court of Cassation was an essential stage in criminal proceedings, as the supervision by the judges of that court enabled any error of law by the lower courts to be corrected, both as regards the definition of the charge and the trial procedure.
		On the basis of the ordinance of 1826 the Court of Cassation accepts that it is possible for it to give the parties leave to address it, or for a member of the ordinary bar to speak on their behalf.

	France 4 January 1995 Supreme Court (Fauba v. Fujitsu) [translation available]
		[4] The appellant [buyer] did not attack the lower court's decision on this point, which explains the Court of Cassation's silence with respect to this first condition for the application of the Convention.
		This is even more regrettable in that France was one of the first countries to ratify the Vienna Convention, and because French academic writers have spared no effort to explain, synthesize and closely study the new uniform law.
		This showing would have been even more welcome than the first element emphasized by the judges, the absence of a corporate status, which creates a misleading impression: if the seller's liaison office established in France had had corporate status, the existence of two places of business in different States would have been absent.

	Scots Members of the French Nobility
		The 1844 edition of the Annuaire de la Noblesse de France mentions that the duke of Hamilton was received at the court of Charles X "under the title of duc de Châtellerault." Burke's General Armory of 1844 blazons the arms of Hamilton with an inescutcheon bearing France in point of honor.
		The duke claimed to be exempt of that law, but the courts ruled against him (court of Sancerre, 1836; appeals court of Bourges, 1837; Court of Cassation, 1840).
		The duke argued that the clause of the treaty of 1814 created an exception to that law in his favor, and that the courts were incompetent to interpret or alter an international treaty.
