The company "Grand" won the dispute with the
hypermarket chain "Carrefour" in the court of first instance. The
dispute between more than a dozen local manufacturers and distributors and
Carrefour is almost identical in all cases, and they claim that Carrefour was
illegally "deducting" funds for various reasons, which puts a lot of
financial pressure on the companies.
Like "Grand", the company "Georgian Baker" expects the successful completion of the lawsuit, but their process has not started yet and is delayed. “Carrefour's” position is still unknown, as the company does not comment.
Alexander Nachkebia, Human Rights Defender of Company
"Grand" and Head of Legal Services of Nexia TA Georgia, Iva Chkonia,
Head of Georgian Business Distributors Association, and Mikheil Parulava, Head
of Company "Georgian Bakers", Commented on this issue in „Business
