In October 2014, the Paris Court of Appeal ordered Carrefour to pay a €500,000 civil fine after finding that clauses in its standard supplier contract created a significant imbalance in commercial relationships. The clauses allowed Carrefour, among other things, to cancel orders or refuse deliveries in specified circumstances without paying the price. The case was brought by the French economy ministry.
