The wife of Balinese surfing legend Wayan Suwenda is continuing her battle against Billabong International over the distribution rights to the Billabong brand in Bali, according to a story in the Australian.
In our last update in December 2009 we mentioned that one person was already in prison and another had been added to Interpol’s most wanted list over this same skirmish. Now Suwenda is reported suing Billabong in Denpasar District Court for $168 million Australian.
In the past few years, the dispute has become very public in Indonesia, with CVBB taking out large advertisements in the local media putting its viewpoint, while Billabong has publicly replied to the allegations.
