Stephanie Maniscalco//August 31, 2018//
Listen to this articleWhere a car buyer argued that FCA USA violated the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act by making deceptive representations about the safety of certain vehicles, the district court correctly found that it had jurisdiction under the Class Action Fairness Act, and the court also properly found that the buyer’s purchase had no relationship with the alleged misrepresentation.
Judgment is affirmed.
