New District Court Judgment Protects Parallel Importers

Categories: Labor & Employment

Latfood company is the official and exclusive importer in Israel for the Latvian company which manufactures chocolate products marketed under the brand ‘Laima’.  In January 2017 Foodstock imported a single delivery of these chocolates as a parallel import.  There were some 13,000 items with a value of about Euro 20,000.  Latfood filed an application with the District Court requesting an interim injunction prohibiting Foodstock from importing and marketing the chocolate and also requesting the collection of those which it had already marketed.
