Contract termination dispute: defending a European car manufacturer in Turkey

Situation: Disputes
Litigation

Context

Our client, a major European car manufacturer, decided to terminate an import and distribution contract it had for more than 20 years with a Turkish car dealer following significant payment problems. Considering the termination to be sudden and unfounded, the Turkish car dealer initiated legal proceedings to obtain compensation for the alleged damage.

Key Takeaway

Such a dispute case necessitates a deep understanding of the financial circumstances in which both parties operate. In this specific case, the Turkish car dealer faced severe financial issues, meaning that the contract termination did not cause any damage to it; rather, it prevented the dealer from incurring further losses.

Accuracy Role

We were appointed as financial expert in the dispute by the manufacturer.
