Spyker Gives GM More Time to Respond to Saab Issue

A few weeks back, Spyker and Saab filed a huge lawsuit against GM, accusing the American giant of unlawful actions undertaken in order not to have Saab as a competitor on the Chinese market. The amount of money they are asking for is simply colossal - €2.4 ($3- / £1.9-) billion.

The original deadline GM had to respond was originally set for August 28th, but this Friday, Spyker officials agreed to an extension of one month over the previous term. This means that GM has until September 28th to respond, and judging by the fact that they have asked for extra time to prepare means that they are taking this matter extremely seriously, despite the fact that their official position is that the lawsuit was “without merit”.

An official statement from Spyker stated that "GM's actions had the direct and intended objective of driving Saab Automobile into bankruptcy, a result of GM's tortuously interfering with a transaction between Saab Automobile AB, Spyker and Chinese investor Youngman, that would have permitted Saab Automobile AB to restructure and remain a solvent, going concern."
