DCC €18.7m damages case upheld

DCC has taken another step closer to claiming the €18.7 million in damages it was awarded by the High Court in London earlier this year.

The court threw out an appeal by Pihsiang Machinery Manufacturing, which lost a breach of contract case taken against it by a subsidiary of DCC.

The Taiwanese company had supplied mobility products to the Irish firm for a number of years but the deal ended in dispute in 2002 and DCC launched a legal case against it claiming brach of contract.
