发帖数: 8769 | 1 The California woman who sued Honda in small-claims court over the
manufacturer's fuel-efficiency claims of up to 50 mpg for her 2006 Civic
Hybrid has won. The judge, in a 26-page ruling mailed to both Honda and
plaintiff Heather Peters, awarded Peters $9,867.19 -- almost the full $10,
000 sought, and the maximum that could be awarded under the small-claims
system.
Peters, a former lawyer, told the court that "the car never got more than 41
or 42 even on its very best day," and said the fuel economy dropped to
below 30 mpg after a software update intended to extend battery life and
improve performance. Representatives for Honda maintained Peters' low gas
mileage was due to the way she drove and maintained the car.
Peters, you may remember, eschewed a similar class-action lawsuit, in which
victorious claimants were expected to receive about $100 and a voucher
toward a new vehicle, while the trial lawyers were expected to net around $8
.5 million from a successful verdict.
Furthermore, by filing in California small-claims court, Peters ensured
Honda could not bring in an army of lawyers to battle the case; in
California and some other states, lawyers are not allowed to represent
either side. Some see Peters' victory as a possible catalyst to change the
current class-action system, paving the way for well-informed plaintiffs to
lay the legal groundwork and allow others to follow suit.
Honda plans to appeal the decision to the Los Angeles County Superior Court,
where its formidable legal team will be allowed to get to work.
Peters, after being contacted by more than 500 Civic owners through her
DontSettleWithHonda.org website, where she outlined the steps of her
lawsuit, said she plans to reactivate her state law license to represent
other Civic owners against Honda. |
