Barr to appeal Croatian court ruling

June

Barr Pharmaceuticals Inc. said yesterday it has strong grounds to appeal a decision handed down by a Croatian court against a subsidiary over a patent case. The decision by the Commercial Court in Zagreb required the subsidiary, Pliva, to pay $8 million to a number of former employees in connection with a process for producing Azithromycin, an antibiotic.

The lawsuit was filed in August 2001; Barr acquired Pliva last October. Barr said it would not have to pay the judgment until the decision is affirmed on appeal. Barr has manufacturing and research operations in Pomona.
