Summit National Chapter 11: Up-Date

It appears there have been some concessions and compromises regarding the original leasing software company Summit National, Chicago, Illinois, dispute with Daimler Chrysler, which Summit President Ken Duffy, Sr., said forced the company to fill bankruptcy earlier this year.

The trial was postponed until January 31,2006, according to court records:

Leasing News asked the parties involved for a statement:

Ken Duffy, Sr. responded:

"As before, the Detroit, Cincinnati, and Chicago court records speaks for themselves regarding DaimlerChrysler Services' liability for breach of contract and the reasons for SNI's Summit National Incorporated )voluntary filing for protection under CH 11. Perhaps, as the objective news gatherer, you should speak with both sides and you may wish to contact DCS executives, Mr. Jurgen Walker-President (248-427-6600)or Mr. David Olsen-CFO (248-948-3813),to gain a better understanding of their position on damages and their motives for attempting to acquire control of SNI.

We have no further comment at this time as a pending jury trial in Detroit will determine damages to SNI for DCS breach of contract and one other issue of liability. Thank you for your interest. Regards, "

Neither of the other parties responded.

Here are the conditions and other matters that have brought the action forward to January 31, 2006:
