Judge will decide on Vivendi request to suspend Mediaset's European plan: source

MILAN (Reuters) - An Italian judge will decide on Vivendi’s (VIV.PA) request to suspend Mediaset’s (MS.MI) pan-European project, as she took note that the two groups failed to settle their long-running dispute, a legal source said on Friday.

However it was not clear when the judge would take her decision.

The Italian broadcaster and the French media group could not reach a deal to end their long-running legal dispute before a court hearing on Friday, sources close to the matter said.
