Highlights: Tesla denied signs pending verdict. Since the end of October, there has been a long-drawn-out strike against Tesla. Tesla refuses to sign a collective agreement with IF Metall. Postnord says right to strike is constitutionally protected and therefore applies over the delivery obligation in the Postal Act. The U.S. automaker summed up the strike as a "targeted and unlawful attack on Tesla""The conclusion is that the requested precautionary measures, which at least partially give the benefit of one party, are not appropriate," the court writes.

The electric car manufacturer Tesla will not receive its license plates delivered by Postnord pending a final decision. This was decided by Solna District Court on Thursday. "The conclusion is that the requested precautionary measures, which at least partially give the benefit of one party, are not appropriate because they precede the final trial," the court writes.

Since the end of October, there has been a long-drawn-out strike against Tesla, as the car company refuses to sign a collective agreement with IF Metall.

Tesla has sued Postnord because Postnord did not deliver the car company's license plates, because the mail carriers and other employees are members of unions that are on sympathy strike with IF Metall.

In its statement to the district court, Postnord wrote that the company cannot order its employees to deliver mail to Tesla.

"PostNord's position in a conflict that we fundamentally stand outside has been that the right to strike is constitutionally protected and therefore applies over the delivery obligation in the Postal Act," the company wrote in a press release.

Tesla, on the other hand, wrote in its lawsuit that Postnord acted "almost system-threatening" by, among other things, "seizing shipments". The U.S. automaker summed it up as a "targeted and unlawful attack on Tesla."
