Skanska suing supplier of Rhoca Gil
Skanska today submitted its response to the Malmö District Court regarding the suit filed by Rhodia Sverige AB (formerly Rhône-Poulenc Sverige AB) against Skanska. The suit pertains to unpaid invoices of nearly SEK 5.5 million for the sealing agent Rhoca Gil.
Skanska does not consider that it is liable to pay Rhodia SEK 5.5 million and is filing a countersuit against Rhodia. In the suit, Skanska is requesting that the District Court determine Rhodia's liability for the incident at Hallandsås. The amount of the claim is to be specified later when the extent of the damages is determined.
"Rhodia supplied a product that was both faulty and hazardous. They provided incorrect as well as misleading information and withheld facts, says Lars Braun, Inhouse Counsel at Skanska Sweden.
