ADVERTISEMENT "The sale motion is granted in its entirety and entry into and performance under and in respect of the purchase agreement and the sale transaction is approved," judge Arthur Gonzalez wrote in his ruling. He further added despite extensive efforts over the last two years "to seek various alliances for Chrysler, the Fiat transaction is the only option that is currently viable." The third-biggest US automaker has declared bankruptcy and is seeking a tie-up with Fiat in a plan presented as the only way to save the company from liquidation. Creditors, parts suppliers, dealership owners and others losing money in the bankruptcy argue that their rights have been trampled in the effort to force through the deal. The government says a new Chrysler company could be born within days of approval for the bankruptcy. But legal appeals were expected if Gonzalez ruled in favor, meaning possible new delays. Fiat has said it might back out if the transaction is not completed by June 15. Thomas Lauria, an attorney for pension funds attempting to stop the bankruptcy, said the plan was "illegal" and stripped his clients of their protections as provided under bankruptcy law. A lawyer representing some of the 789 dealers who face being shut down accused Chrysler choosing the victims in an unbusiness-like way that equated to "throwing darts at a board." The once mighty US auto industry is reeling, prompting massive intervention by President Barack Obama's administration to prevent total collapse and a new body blow to a national economy already in recession. Chrysler was forced to file for bankruptcy protection on April 30, then agreed to an alliance with Fiat that will initially give the Italian company a 20 percent stake. In return, Fiat will allow access to its technology to enable the US carmaker to make the smaller, greener cars that are increasingly in demand. The US Treasury has provided Chrysler with some nine billion dollars in emergency aid. Fiat must repay this money if it wants to take a majority stake in the Detroit firm. Judge Gozalez wrote that "Fiat will contribute to New Chrysler access to competitive fuel-efficient vehicle platforms, certain technology, distribution capabilities in key growth markets and substantial cost saving opportunities." After the conclusion of the Fiat transaction, Fiat will own 20 percent of the equity of New Chrysler, with the right to acquire up to an additional 31 percent of the company, according to the ruling. In addition to Chrysler, the government will also rescue GM with a plan could put as much as 72.5 percent of the country's biggest automaker under state ownership.
