GM Tries to Revive Legal Battle With Fiat Chrysler

General Motors Co. has asked a federal judge to reconsider the
tossing of a lawsuit it filed last fall against Fiat Chrysler
Automobiles NV, the car company's latest attempt at reviving an
unusual legal battle between two of Detroit's biggest rivals.
In a new motion filed Monday in Detroit, GM said it had
uncovered new evidence to further support its earlier claims that
Fiat Chrysler was trying to weaken its larger competitor by bribing
top officials with the United Auto Workers union.
Federal Judge Paul Borman last month dismissed GM's civil
racketeering lawsuit, ruling the Detroit auto maker had failed to
show it would have been a primary victim of any misconduct
allegedly perpetrated by Fiat Chrysler executives.
GM's new motion not only claims it has new evidence to prove it
was the victim of direct harm, but also for the first time names
former UAW President Dennis Williams as a defendant.
