For Volkswagen of America, Inc.: JMBM defeats class action lawsuit

JMBM prevailed in a class action lawsuit brought against its client,Volkswagen of America, Inc. The plaintiff claimed injury because of a “Made in the U.S.A.” designation on license plate frame holders. The lawsuit sought damages and injunctive relief. In dismissing the lawsuit, the Court applied recently-enacted language from Proposition 64 which limits a person’s right to sue under California law to situations in which the plaintiff is able to demonstrate actual injury. The Court of Appeal subsequently affirmed the ruling on appeal. JMBM Litigators Stanley Gibson and Matt Hinks represented Volkswagen.
