USA v. Volvo Powertrain Corporation

USA v. Volvo Powertrain Corporation - 7/18/14. In the U.S. Court of Appeals, D.C. Circuit, Case No. 12-5234. Volvo Powertrain argues that a consent decree has no application to the Volvo Penta engines even though, under the language of the decree, the engines were manufactured at a "facility owned or operated by" a settling company. The district court disagreed, and it held Volvo Powertrain liable and ordered Volvo Powertrain to pay approximately $72 million. The Panel agreed with the district court decision and found no abuse of discretion.
