High Court Blocks Chrysler Sale to Fiat

AP: Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Monday delayed Chrysler’s sale of most of its assets to a group led by Italy’s Fiat, but didn’t say how long the deal will remain on hold.



Ginsburg said in an order that the sale is “stayed pending further order,” indicating that the delay may only be temporary.



Chrysler LLC has said the sale must close by June 15, or Fiat Group SpA has the option to walk away, leaving the Auburn Hills, Mich., automaker with little option but to liquidate.
