Future Retail asks court to declare arbitration with Amazon illegal
India Today
In the latest Future Retail filing in New Delhi, the company argues that since the 2019 deal no longer has antitrust approval, it has "no legal existence" in India and Amazon can no longer assert any of its rights.
India's Future Retail has asked a New Delhi court to declare arbitration proceedings in Singapore with Amazon.com as illegal, arguing that India's antitrust agency had suspended a 2019 deal used by Amazon to assert rights over Future.
Amazon successfully used the terms of its toehold $200 million investment in a debt-laden future to block the Indian retailer's attempt to sell retail assets to a rival, alleging breach of certain contracts.
