Den Franske Republik (France) v. Intra ApS (company)
Author(ity)
Supreme Court (Højesteret)
Date of the decision, of the judgment
09/03/1992
Points of law
The French embassy had concluded a contract with a private company concerning the lease of office space for its trade department. Based on the disagreement which followed the private company’s announcement of its intention to raise the rent, the private company initiated legal proceedings against the Embassy. The French State raised objections and claimed jurisdictional immunity from further proceedings in the Danish courts.The Court established that the leasing contract was governed by private law and that the rules of public international law concerning State immunity did not exempt foreign states for legal actions concerning such matters in Denmark.
