Philip Hudson's architect's firm filed papers suing Confectionery Corporate Roshen for $ 140,000 + costs, M. Hudson saying that Roshen stole their designs for the company's milk processing plant in Vinnystia. "I couldn't believe it... We did a good job for them, and they just decided not to pay us, because they feel they're bigger and stronger than us".


"It was a case of might and not right with all their good work in Vinnystia, it doesn't take a genious to work out they will have very good connections with the courts down there. We didn't have the ressources to fight a really major company like Roshen in its home territory".
