The Russian dealer holding demands that Toyota resume supplies of cars and spare parts

The dealer holding "SP Business Car", which is under the control of the Japanese Toyota, appealed to other divisions of the auto concern - Toyota Tsusho Corporation and Toyota Tsuse Rus - with a demand to stop interfering with the supply of Toyota and Lexus cars and auto components to Russia. The Moscow Arbitration Court has already accepted this claim for proceedings, writes Kommersant.

According to the case materials, the Russian side also insists on recognizing the debt to Toyota Tsuse Rus as terminated in order to compensate for losses that arose due to the stoppage of supplies of vehicles and spare parts. The specified amount of claims is 375 million rubles.

The plaintiffs, according to the court, want to recover this money from Toyota Tsusho Corporation and Alexey Tereshchenko, who owns 3 percent of JV Business Car. Another 3 percent of the company is owned by Ilya Pimenov, who is also one of the plaintiffs. The remaining share belongs to Toyota Tsusho Corporation. In addition, the general director of JV Business Car, Alexey Isupov, and the head of Toyota Tsuse Rus, Nakada Takanori, are named as defendants in the case.

According to the publication's anonymous source, the conflict between Russian minority participants and managers became the reason for the lawsuit.
