Legal Question in Business Law in United Kingdom

I have limited company and purchased 90k worth of goods from an Italian company based in Italy. I paid the initial invoice of 20k but then became dissolutioned with them and sourced an alternative supplier. I informed original company that I no longer required their stock and wished to return it and settle my account. They refused to accept returns and told me they intended to sue. Their stock is currently in storage accruing charges. Do you think they could sue?

A contract is a contract...

Usually they will be able to sue you, and worst of all, they could do it in Italy (higher cost to you, and more uncertainty).

Because you question lacks a lot of detailed information, I can't give you any other alternatives.

It might be that there are clauses in the contract, or accepted rules, by which you could break the contract (at their expense).

Negotiation is always a good start (especially if you have some recourse).

You can always send me a copy of the paperwork for an advice ([email protected]), we have several clients doing business in Italy.
