Case

Country

Case Description: "The defendant, a trader, distributed a sales catalog titled ""JMF Militaria"" (1995-1996 edition) offering Nazi and Vichy military items for sale via direct and mail order. The Union des étudiants juifs de France (UEJF), an association dedicated to fighting antisemitism and preserving memory, filed for an interim injunction (référé) to cease the distribution of the catalog and the sale of the incriminated articles. The Court of Appeal of Versailles ruled in favor of the association, finding that the commercialization and the specific presentation of the items constituted a manifestly unlawful disturbance (trouble manifestement illicite). Mr. X... appealed this decision to the Court of Cassation. The Court of Cassation rejected the appeal. It ruled that the Court of Appeal legally justified its decision by characterizing the trivialization of Nazism as an illicit disturbance and correctly exercised its discretion in ordering the cessation of the catalog’s distribution."
