(MENAFN) Carmaker Chevrolet was ordered to pay its French dealers USD8.5 million in compensation by a Paris court for the "brutal" withdrawal of its brand from Europe, The Peninsula Qatar reported.
Seventeen dealers had sued the company for not respecting a notice period it was obliged to give after GM announced in December 2013 that it was withdrawing Chevrolets from sale in 2015 due to poor sales.
They had claimed damages of USD35.8 million, after alleging that Chevrolet France had put pressure on dealerships who did not accept their initial offer of compensation by withdrawing marketing material.
