French to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s)

La jurisprudence française est allée encore plus loin puisque la cour de cassation a admis que le principe de l'independence du juge soit consacré indépendamment de tout texte, comme règle d'ordre public international processuel français suffisant pour constituer - procédure assez rare - le visa d'un arrêt.

Yes, I understand that French case law has gone further because the Court of Appeals has admitted that etc. etc.
but where I get lost is, to constitute - an unusual enough procedure - le visa d'un arrêt.

It can't be the way of a judgment... Or at least, there has to be a way to put it that is elegant... I require elegance at this hour of the night...

So, all you kind camaradas and compañeros, help, please.
