article_snippet.sent: Now Hudson has filed a $1million lawsuit to end the business relationship.
article_snippet.sent: In 2013, Hudson inserted a clause into the contract with Kitson, giving Hudson power to veto any Kitson employee coming to the airport stores.
article_snippet.sent: According to the LA Times, Hudson asked Kitson to pay a $280,000 penalty for violating the terms of their agreement and another $750,000 as compensation for lost profits and the costs of re-branding the two stores after the partnership is terminated.
article_snippet.sent: Last month Kitson launched a counter legal action saying that Hudson failed to keep the airport stores sufficiently clean, organised and staffed, and sold Kitson merchandise in non-Kitson merchandise.
