Amway Global reports that Britain’s Court of Appeal has
unanimously upheld the dismissal of government claims
against Amway UK.
The entire Amway community took the matter seriously.
The BERR investigation spurred the Corporation to speed
the pace of reform in the UK market, introducing
“radical reforms” in record time to address government
concerns.
After a full and fair hearing a little more than a year
ago, a British court accepted that Amway Corporation was
sincere in its determination to learn from past
weaknesses, and cleared them to continue doing business
in the UK. The Court of Appeal has confirmed the judge’s
reasoned legal interpretation and commended him for his
“shrewdness and fairness.”
The IBOAI joins IBOs everywhere in thanking the many
Amway UK employees and distributors who fought the good
fight through almost three years of uncertainty. Good
people stayed in the fight – and the Corporation stayed
in it for them. Congratulations to Amway Corporation and
Amway UK. Once again the Corporation has demonstrated
integrity and honored its continuing commitment to its
distributors and employees.
While the IBOAI serves North American IBOs, many of our
Members have extensive international businesses that
include legs in the Republic of Ireland and the UK. They
will be much relieved by this decision by the British
Court of Appeal.
