The Supreme Court of France, known as the Cour de Cassation, is the highest court in the French judicial system. It primarily reviews decisions made by lower courts to ensure they comply with the law. The court does not re-examine the facts of a case but focuses on legal interpretations and the application of law. Established in 1790, the Cour de Cassation is located in Paris. It consists of several chambers, each specializing in different areas of law, such as civil, criminal, and commercial matters. Its rulings set important legal precedents that guide future cases in France.
