Visagent Corporation v. Winn Dixie Corporation, Jacksonville, Florida
Visagent Corporation signed an exclusive contract with Winn Dixie to service and manage a specific portion of their wholesale distribution and supply chain. Winn Dixie fulfilled its part of the agreement for the first two months of the three year contract before deciding to bring the process “in-house”. They told Visagent that they were not doing any business in the exclusive and restricted area but in fact, it was later discovered that they were. In the interim, Winn Dixie declared bankruptcy but not before Rubin & Rubin filed a breach of contract action. The case was vigorously litigated for over five years with depositions taken all over the country, all the while Winn Dixie maintained that it committed no bad acts. Then, just before the trial was about to begin, the Defendants agreed to a settlement for the value of Visagent’s claims, $6,000,000.
