Taipei, Dec. 27 (CNA) The Taipei District Court on Friday ruled in favor of former employees of Radio Corp. of America (RCA) and three of its affiliates, awarding the claimants a total of about NT$2.3 billion (NT$76.39 million) in a class action lawsuit.
RCA, Thomson Consumer Electronics (Bermuda), and Technicolor SA were ordered to pay NT$2.33 billion, while General Electric Co.'s (GE) was ordered to pay NT$2.285 billion, the court ruled.
However, in its ruling, the court said that if any one of the companies or a combination of some of the companies paid the NT$2.3 billion award, the other companies would not have to pay.
In its statement summarizing the verdict, the court did not make clear why each company was assessed a fine individually but only one or more of the four defendants had to pay it.
