STJ sets date for Palmeiras appeal in Samsung case | OneFootball

In June 2010, Palmeiras informed Samsung that it would terminate the sponsorship contract, which was valid until the end of 2011, and would return to being a partner of FIAT. In the second half of that year, the company filed a lawsuit against the Greatest Champion of Brazil due to the breach of contract.

In 2021, Verdão was fined, in the first instance, R$ 17.25 million for unilateral termination, breach of confidentiality, and indirect moral damages. After appealing in the second instance, the amount was reduced to R$ 12.5 million, with the penalty for indirect moral damages being removed. Due to interest and monetary correction, the total amount of the lawsuit, as of February 2024, was around R$ 71 million.

Palmeiras' Appeal

Palmeiras filed a special appeal against the decision of the São Paulo State Court of Justice, bringing the case to the Superior Court of Justice in Brasília, which, according to NOSSO PALESTRA, scheduled the case to be judged by the Third Panel on April 7th at 2 p.m.

When contacted, the club stated that it will not comment on the case at this time.

Leila Pereira comments on the case

In an interview given at the beginning of 2024, Leila Pereira spoke about the situation involving the lawsuit between Palmeiras and Samsung.

– In the past, under a management well before Maurício Galiotte's, the management of a former Palmeiras president unilaterally terminated a contract with Samsung and we have this major lawsuit as a result of this unilateral termination. We have to be very careful and very responsible so that Palmeiras is not harmed – she said.
