Sixième moyen d’appel :
Encore une violation du principe du contradictoire alors que les juges arbitres ont balayé d’un revers de la main l’objection de A comme quoi ce n’était pas à elle d’assumer la responsabilité des faits allégués, mais à la filiale B qui bien que filiale avait juridiquement une totale indépendance fonctionnelle et décisionnelle.
En l’espèce il s’agit de la quantification du prétendu préjudice de C.
Le respect du contradictoire est un vice de forme et non pas **un vice de fond**, n’en déplaise à C.
Context: company A (also parent company to B) is appealing against an arbitration award to C
I found it in a dictionary as a "fundamental error" but couldn't quite under the sentence in the context. Thanks

Note from asker:
| Thanks. So it makes sense to say that "compliance with the adversarial principle is a technicality and not a fundamental flaw"? |

: I like "a procedural error rather than a fundamental one". The difficult part is in translating "le respect" which, if the procedure has NOT been respected, could be rendered as "Lack of compliance". ...(to reply)
yes "disregard" is good

Thanks, but could be the wrong way round. It's fundamental/substantive vs. procedural in form. Also, Le respect du contradictoire > heeding = as you intimate: (non-)heeding = disregard of the adversarial principle.

defects: substantive vs procedural
...
Defects in summary-judgment affidavits come in two flavors: substantive and procedural. Substantive objections can be raised for the first time on appeal. Procedural objections must be raised in the trial court or they are waived. One way to think about the difference between substantive and procedural objections is that procedural objections relate to the admissibility of the evidence and substantive objections relate to competence of the evidence. Another way to think about the difference is that procedural defects are those that could be corrected if pointed out, but substantive defects could not be. But courts of appeals have not always agreed about which defects are procedural and which are substantive.
