companies "sue themselves" all the time.
generally this happens because of some breech of contract or falling apart of some agreement between the two parts of the same company where two different management structures are involved.
does it make sense? no... they could settle it out of court and save a lot of money for both companies.
but hey... when is the last time you knew "management" to do much of anything that made sense on the front line?
