Israel Supreme Court Bans Firm's Petition to Upset Diesel Monopoly
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — The
Supreme Court here banned
publication in Israel of a peti-
tion filed with the court last
week, aimed at upsetting a
planned monopoly to a British
firm for the assembly and sale
of diesel trucks and buses in
this country.
The court petition was filed
by Jos Miller, Ltd., of Haifa,
agent for one of two Swedish
firms that have been selling
the bulk of the heavy diesel
trucks and buses now.
. According to the complainant,
the Israel government has
agreed to give a monopoly on
the heavy diesel vehicles to
Leyland Motor Company, a
British firm, which would set
up an assembly plant in this
country and would be protected
against competition by the
Swedish firms. All diesel truck

under the agreement with Ley-

duties would be imposed to
protect Leyland truck sales.
The Muller . firm of Haifa
wants the Israel government to
show cause why its planned
monopoly should not be banned
by the court. According to
Muller, the Swedish firm of
Scania-Vabis had also offered
to build , an assembly plant in
Israel..
Hugo Tamm, Swedish Ambas-
sador here, : has called on the
Foreign Ministry to •discuss the
case at the request of the two
Swedish firms. The Supreme
Court is expected to rule on
the show cause application next
week.
