Update on the litigation with BAT and the sauvegarde of Sequana
As regards the litigation between Sequana and British American Tobacco (BAT), the company indicates that it does not have any information about the date on which the decision of the Court of Appeal in London will be handed down, as it is not customary for English courts to set out in advance the date of their decision, contrary to France. Considering the courts' holidays break at this time of the year, it is likely that the decision will not be handed down in 2018.
Besides, the Nanterre Commercial Court has decided to extend the observation period for Sequana until 17 May 2019. The company will have to file a new sauvegarde plan by this date.
