The Dispute between ARTOC Auto and ŠKODA AUTO Global
ARTOC Auto is an exclusive agent in the Arab Republic of Egypt and several countries for ŠKODA AUTO Global in the import and sale of ŠKODA AUTO Global automobiles and spare parts. Whereas, ARTOC Auto, Commercial Agent, was surprised that ŠKODA AUTO Global had terminated the commercial agency executed therewith. Therefore, ARTOC Auto promptly made a power-of attorney to Dr. Mohamed Hamoda to solve this major problem, as the company in Egypt is subject to closure and termination of its business as a result of the termination of the commercial agency, which threatens to close the company's branches and maintenance centers and layoffs. Thus, Dr. Mohamed Hamoda immediately filed an urgent request to the judiciary of Egypt, for issuing an order to stop the registration of any new commercial agency of ŠKODA AUTO Global in Egypt. In addition, Dr. Mohamed Hamoda could already obtain an enforceable order not to register any new commercial agency for ŠKODA AUTO Global in relation to its products inside the Arab Republic of Egypt, and not to allow the entrance and stop the customs release of any automobiles bearing the trademark of ŠKODA AUTO Global. Moreover, Dr. Mohamed Hamoda notified all customs ports of the enforceable judicial order, accordingly, the entry of the products of ŠKODA AUTO Global was prevented into the Egyptian territory. In addition, Dr. Mohamed Hamoda won the Case in favor of ARTOC Auto, Commercial Agent in Egypt, and managed to protect same from the closure of its outlets and branches in Egypt, as well as significantly contributing to the continuation of its activity and forcing ŠKODA AUTO Global to negotiate and settle the dispute with ARTOC Auto.
