A Denver judge temporarily prohibited Constellation Brands from canceling its distribution agreement with Coors. The judge ruled that Constellation Brands products distributed by Coors Distributing Company represent a significant portion of CDC's business. The order remains in place until an arbitrator determines whether Constellation Brands had the right to cancel the contract without cause.
