Cigarette maker British American Tobacco Kenya (BAT) #ticker:BAT has won an eight-year legal battle against a distributor in Tanzania, sparing it from paying Sh157 million (Tsh3.2 billion) court award.
The Tanzania Court of Appeal has annulled a 2016 decision by the high court awarding the money to Mohans Oysterbay Drinks Limited as damages after it sued BAT Kenya over the termination of a cigarette supply contract.
