China: Bankrupt solar panel firm allowed to sue Chinese rivals

By  |  April 10, 2014

The lawsuit, given the green light by US District Judge Saundra Brown Armstrong, follows regulatory scrutiny, both here and abroad, of Chinese solar panel companies accused with product dumping to undermine competition.
