In a dispute between a former distributor and a supplier deriving from a written distributorship agreement, the supplier needed the agreement to prove that an arbitration clause has been agreed between the parties. Without submitting before the Court the written agreement that included the arbitration clause, the relevant objection of the supplier re. the lack of jurisdiction of the Court, would not have been proved and the Court would have considered itself as competent to rule on the case.
The Court ordered the distributor who maintained the original agreement to provide a copy to the supplier, and went even further to order a penalty of 2.000 € to be imposed to the distributor for each case of non-compliance with that order.
Nikos Grigoriadis argued for the supplier.
