The High Court of Australia has published two judgments of note concerning the proper assessment of damages under s272(1) of the Australian Consumer Law when consumer good do not comply with the guarantee of "acceptable quality" under s54 of the ACL. The cases, Williams v Toyota [2024] HCA 38 and Capic v Ford [2024] HCA 39 were a pair of defective motor vehicle class actions, heard together in the High Court. In the case of Toyota, the case concerned defective diesel particulate filters that affected vehicle performance in certain Toyota Hiluxes. In the case of Ford, the case concerned defective powershift transmissions that affected vehicle performance in Ford vehicles fitted with the relevant transmission. When the vehicles were sold as new cars, the defects were unknown to the consumer. The defects became known at a later date. In the case of Toyota, a "field fix" was developed to rectify the defect. In issue was the proper approach to the timing and assessment of damages in circumstances where an unknown defect, discovered later, was remedied by a field fix. The Court held at [39] of Toyota that the "indisputable starting point is the attribution of a full acquaintance with the state and condition of the goods at the time of supply to a reasonable consumer, including full knowledge of any defect." The Court also held at [34] of Toyota that "later acquired knowledge of the capacity to repair the defect or ameliorate its consequences, including when, how and at what cost those repairs or ameliorative steps could be undertaken" should also be attributed to the consumer at the time of supply. That is, for purposes of assessing damages under s272, the Court should make that assessment at the time of supply, but attributing to the consumer knowledge of all defects and repair steps that are known at the time of the trial. The Court ordered that the matters be remitted to the respective trial judges for determination of damages. Justin Gleeson SC, Tim Rogan and Patrick Meagher appeared for the plaintiffs in the Toyota matter. They were instructed by Matthew Mackenzie of Quinn Emmanuel. Fiona Roughley SC and Sam Gerber appeared for the plaintiffs in the Ford matter. They were instructed by Chris Pagent of Corrs Chambers Westgarth.

After two years of briefing, the Supreme Court of California released its opinion in Rodriguez v. FCA, US LLC. And in this Halloween-Day opinion, there were no tricks—just confirmation of what automakers and other warrantors have been arguing for years: “new” does not mean “used.” ? Under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, buyers of new motor vehicles are entitled to specific remedies if a manufacturer is unable to repair a new motor vehicle after a reasonable number of repair attempts. The statute provides that the remedy is available only as to a “new motor vehicle.” And it defines a “new motor vehicle” as one “bought or used primarily for personal purposes” as well as dealer-owned vehicles and demonstrators “sold with a manufacturer’s new car warranty.” Cal. Civ. Code § 1793.22(e)(2).

?? Nissan Wins Major Legal Battle in AEB Class Action Lawsuit ?? On November 22, a federal appeals court ruled in favor of Nissan, decertifying a class action lawsuit over claims that its automatic emergency braking (AEB) systems caused vehicles to stop suddenly in low-risk situations. This decision is a significant legal victory for the automaker. The U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals found that the lawsuit, which involved 14 Nissan models across 10 states, lacked a unified basis for class certification. Chief Judge Jeffrey Sutton noted that not all drivers experienced the braking issue, and software updates varied across models, making the alleged defect inconsistent. The case targeted popular models like the 2017-2020 Rogue, 2019-2021 Altima, and 2020-2021 Kicks, with plaintiffs claiming the AEB systems activated unnecessarily. Nissan countered that the issues were specific to certain vehicles and resolved in many cases through updates. While the class action was decertified, the case is not over. It will return to a trial judge in Nashville for further proceedings, leaving room for potential future developments. This ruling highlights the complexity of class action lawsuits in the automotive industry, particularly when defects impact vehicles differently. What’s your take on this legal outcome and its implications for class actions in the industry? Let’s discuss! ?? #AutomotiveLaw #Nissan #ClassAction #LegalUpdate
