Judge Limits Ben & Jerry's Suit against Unilever
The article discussed the decision by the U.S. court in Manhattan to decline accepting large parts of Ben & Jerry's lawsuit against Unilever, which accuses the latter of attempting to silence the company and hinder its operations. Several claims related to the company's rights and corporate record were also dismissed. The ruling clarified that Magnum, now owned by Ben & Jerry's, will replace Unilever as the main defendant, with allegations concerning labor violations and the influence on the company's speech, including practices related to monitoring social activities and workers' rights. Unilever maintained that the lawsuit lacked sufficient grounds, and the judge rejected Ben & Jerry's requests, highlighting that the two companies continue their limited agreements, while some claims regarding overdue payments remain ongoing.
