Resellers gain court victory over Fujitsu

The five year court battle between Australian resellers, ASI Solutions and Webster Computer Systems and Fujitsu, reached new heights when the two won significant victories in the Federal Court of Australia over vendor. The pair was among several OEM PC assemblers who claim to have been exposed to substantial commercial losses after selling faulty Fujitsu MPG3 and MPF hard drives between 2000 and 2002. Although steps were made to launch a class action suit on behalf of all the resellers effected in 2003, it was stymied when lawyers, Levitt Robinson Solicitors, failed to secure backing from at least seven parties.
