Dow Chemical (DOW)
Dow Chemical lost a request for dismissal of a claim brought against it over an alleged European rubber cartel.
The High Court in London ruled today that Cooper Tire & Rubber Co., the second-largest U.S. tiremaker, and a group of other companies can sue Dow in the U.K. Lawyers for Dow argued at a hearing earlier this month that the court shouldn’t consider the case because the alleged cartel didn’t operate in England.
