Prevent: Prices for VW increased tenfold, termination not accepted

In the dispute over terminated contracts between Volkswagen and a supplier of the Prevent Group, a substantive decision has been postponed. The district court Dortmund rejected on Wednesday an application for injunction of the Prevent subsidiary TWB based in Hagen against VW and the subsidiary Audi.

The judges saw no reason to decide by express procedure, said a spokesman for the court. There was still enough time until the termination date at the end of March 2019.
