The Paris Administrative Court of Appeal, 5 March 2024, no. 21PA06640, ruled that despite the absence of such a clause in a public supply contract, the contract remains valid and enforceable. Société Nouvelle Laiterie de la Montagne (SNLM) could not escape the penalties for failing to meet delivery deadlines, despite its requests for a price revision or a postponement of delivery. Earlier case law, such as “Béziers I”, confirms that only serious irregularities can justify setting aside a contract.
