Dallas Jury Hits Golf Cart Supplier With $30M Verdict

A Dallas County jury awarded $30 million to a motorsports company after agreeing that the company that provided it with golf carts to sell had breached an exclusivity agreement by providing the carts directly to a big box retailer.

Champion Motor Sports Group, which does business as Coleman Powersports, sells golf carts, all-terrain vehicles and minibikes to major retailers all over the country. Coleman had an exclusivity provision in an agreement with its Dallas-based golf cart supplier, SC Autosports.
