Also like the other lawsuits, Campbell’s pulls its allegations from a federal affidavit unsealed April 18 that includes conversations between Pilot salespeople and others discussing the methods they use to withhold the rebates and the scheme at large and is suing on the grounds of fraud, deceptive trade practices, unjust enrichment, conversion, breach of contract and fraudulent concealment. It also requests a jury trial.
Pilot Flying J CEO Jimmy Haslam told an audience of fleet executives and other industry representatives May 16 that the company’s audit team is working directly, quickly and fairly with companies who may not have received rebates owed to them, and he encouraged companies to work with them instead of suing.
