Federal Court Upholds Goss' Judgment Against TKS

According to the court, "There was also evidence presented at trial that TKS and its counsel attempted to destroy documents to conceal the secret rebates." There was evidence, for example, that TKS executives in Japan had issued a standing order to TKS(USA)'s employees in the United States that all documents relating to the rebate matter "should be disposed of whenever possible." Then, when TKS employees committed the secret rebate to writing, TKS executives in Japan warned that "there should not be such a document," and ordered that copies of the document "must be collected and destroyed."
