OPPONENTS of Chrysler's sale to Fiat are asking the supreme court to block the deal.
OPPONENTS of Chrysler's sale to Fiat are asking the supreme court to block the deal.
Three Indiana state pension and construction funds filed emergency papers at the high court early yesterday to put the sale on hold so they can pursue an appeal.
The federal appeals court in New York approved the sale on Friday, but gave objectors until today afternoon to try to get the Supreme Court to intervene.
Chrysler wants to sell the bulk of its assets to a group led by Italy's Fiat as part of its plan to emerge from bankruptcy protection.
The emergency request goes first to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who handles such matters from New York. She can act on her own or refer it to the entire court.
The Indiana State Police Pension Fund, the Indiana Teacher's Retirement Fund and the state's Major Moves Construction Fund claim the deal unfairly favours the interests of the company's unsecured stakeholders ahead of those of secured debtholders such as themselves. - Sapa-AP
