Printing company accuses publisher of breach of contract, fraud

In a perfect world, disputes would never arise among business partners in Louisiana and elsewhere. Unfortunately, there are a variety of scenarios in which such a relationship may sour, and the resulting conflict could leave all parties involved in search of guidance on how best to protect their interests. A book printing company was recently awarded a judgment of $15 million after filing a lawsuit against a publisher, accusing it of breach of contract and fraud.

According to reports, EPAC Technologies, Inc. filed the lawsuit against publishing company Thomas Nelson after the company suddenly terminated a five-year contract. Thomas Nelson claims that its decision to end the arrangement hinged on issues with defective products and constant delays in delivery. However, EPAC asserts that the other company fabricated evidence to support its claims and subsequently ended the arrangement without cause.
