(Dagbladet): In 2006 the cooperation between Reitangruppen and Juritzen Publishing. The partnership would give ‘books to the people “through the sale of books in the kiosks and grocery stores.
But now Reitan Group’s former bokdistribusjonssystem Interpress sued Juritzen publishers claiming millions. The writing site bok365.no.
The hook on the door
Monday braker the two parties together in Oslo District Court and Arve Juritzen believes it is the hook on the door for his publishing if they lose.
In 2014 discontinued Interpress its distribution. That same year, the company had purchased books for NOK 15 million of Juritzen Publishing, but according to the adds Arve Juritzen, only 3 percent of books sold.
The return and settlement of the unsold books have inflicted imprint heavy losses.
About half of the returnees books are already made up for, but Juritzen refuse to take back the last 95,000 books that were purchased for a total of NOK 6.5 million, writes hegnar.no.
Interpress has sued the publisher claiming to get back the sum.
– Must take responsibility for angel error
– Magnus Reitan has not managed to sell books, also sends his bill for their mistakes to Norwegian publisher. I think that’s vulgar and I think he should take responsibility for their own mistakes, it has Reitan family finances, says submit Arve Juritzen Dagbladet.
If the publisher goes out of losing the trial, believes Juritzen although it is the hook on the door.
– We have already given Reitan 8.5 million, we have no further 6.5 million, so if we lose this trial, we must lay down. While Norway and Coop Group is stepping up its commitment to books and constantly sell more, Reitan up heritage they were joined when they bought Narvesen. It amazes me that Reitan not see the value in books and wagering as their competitors are doing.
Not afford lawyer
Juritzen will have to bring the matter itself, without the assistance of a lawyer.
– It’s not something I’m doing because I think it is fun or because I think I’m good at it. But we have not NOK 400 000 to pay for a lawyer and therefore has no choice, he said.
Press Contact in Reitan Convenience, Ida Håvik, says Juritzen not raining right.
– He thinks we have a return rate of 96 percent, but I would argue that the way he rains on is not right. It is also quite natural that it becomes larger return of books when part of such a business liquidated, although sales are stable, says Håvik, stressing that Reitan Convenience think this case is very unfortunate.
– Not crash in book sales
Håvik says that in 2014 was sold 75,000 titles through Interpress, which is slightly less than half of the total number sent books from Juritzen.
The books from Juritzen Publishing was sold in kiosks, groceries and at gas stations and Håvik say they do not recognize themselves in contention unsuccessful book sales.
– Narvesen, which we own, had no crashes in book sales in 2014. There has been a cautious decline in many years, but it has with other factors, such as digitization making, says Håvik Dagbladet.
Interpress believe that they have paid for all the books that have been delivered and that they therefore should money back for the books that are not sold.
– It is agreed return ratio for each book title as Interpress purchased. There is a written agreement, saying Håvik.
Håvik emphasizes that they think the case is very unfortunate.
– Interpress has gone to great lengths to achieve a solution, she said.
