TOKYO
(Reuters) - Toshiba Corp said it resumed blocking access by Western Digital
Corp to data at their memory chip joint venture, amid a feud over the Japanese
company's planned auction of the chip business.
Toshiba is
counting on the sale of the chip business to cover billions of dollars in cost
overruns at its now bankrupt U.S. nuclear unit Westinghouse, while Western
Digital says any deal would require its consent.
Toshiba
previously allowed Western Digital partial access to data after a U.S. court
ordered a temporary restraining order, but the Japanese company said it resumed
blocking the access after winning an appeal in California on Tuesday.
