Arrêt Cour d'Appel/Grasse, mai 97

English translation: decision by the Court of Appeals of Grasse, May 97

French to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / brochure advertising services
French term or phrase: Arrêt Cour d'Appel/Grasse, mai 97
This - obviously - is a reference to a Law or Act of Parliament or whatever.

An advertiser is limiting his/her obligations under the Act - right? "...nous ne sommes tenus à aucune "obligation de résultats" (Arrêt Cour d'Appel/Grasse, mai 97).

What's the best English terminology for the stuff in brackets? Thanks as always for help rendered.

a ruling

http://www.google.fr/search?hl=fr&q="appeals court" ruling&m...

but as the decision quoted is a landmark one, perhaps \"precedent\" is best?
