Ford Wins Reversal on Award in Brake Case
From Bloomberg News
Ford Motor Co. won a bid to reverse a $69-million jury award to a Nevada couple who said a flawed parking brake caused their truck to roll downhill, striking and killing their 3-year-old son.
The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the punitive damages awarded to Ginny and Jimmie White because the jury was allowed to consider the interests of all Ford pickup truck buyers, not just those in Nevada.
