A judge hearing a million-euro case filed against French bank BNP Paribas by a Malta-based investment house, has granted the bank special permission to appeal a decree in which he had ordered its CEO to testify.
The decree was handed down by Mr Justice Joseph Zammit Mckeon in the lawsuit filed by Vertical Group Holding, a Maltese investment house and its founder and chairman, the Malta-based, British businessman Jacob Agam, against BNP Paribas, its chairman Jean Lemierre and CEO Jean-Laurent Bonnafé.
