MEMO
Dear Ms. Martin,
I finished my research on the Great Cars Incorporated (GCI) lawsuit. Here are the important notes:
Recent National legislation requires a lot of safety testing. GCI did not follow that policy. But the statute is new, so it may not pertain to our case. There is a precedent. A suit against Car Masters was dismissed two years ago. The company did not make changes to meet state laws fast enough. A judge dismissed the case after Car Masters met the requirements.Still, the plaintiff may sue under a relevant constitutional law. But court rules don´t allow him to change the lawsuit yet. That procedure takes weeks.
Let me know if you have any questions.
