A retired California judge arbitrating a dispute between Toyota Motor Corp.'s U.S. sales company and a former in-house attorney, Dimitrios Biller, ordered him to pay Toyota $2.6 million in damages and stop disclosing confidential company information.
Biller, who worked at Toyota Motor Sales USA from 2003 to 2007, and Toyota had agreed to settle their dispute by binding arbitration, which limits the grounds for appeal.
A self-styled whistle-blower, Biller had sued Toyota for defamation, fraud and racketeering, while Toyota had sued him for violating confidentiality and severance agreements.
