STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Sept. 10 (UPI) -- Denmark's Danish Defense Acquisition and Logistics Organization has been ordered to pay Saab about $5.4 million in damages over a contract dispute.
The order was issued by Denmark's Maritime and Commercial Court, which dismissed a DALO claim against the Swedish company.
"Saab's opinion is that DALO's claim was unfounded," Gunilla Fransson, head of Saab's Security and Defense Solutions business area, said. "We now note that the court shares our opinion."
DALO in 2008 terminated a contract with Saab for the Danish army's Command and Control System, phase two, despite ongoing negotiations for a supplementary agreement. Development of DACCIS had been under way since 1998 and work with the current phase since 2005.
According to DALO, DACCIS did not comply with the specified requirements. It canceled the contract and demanded a refund of the paid amount for the second phase of the DACCIS agreement.
Saab said the termination was incorrect since the development stage of DACCIS obligated DALO to continue the project.
