Attorneys’ Fees under the “Lemon Law”
Suppose a manufacturer, prior to litigation, agrees to repurchase a motorcycle which the owner claims to be a “lemon” under the Song Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, Civil Code Section 1790 et seq., but refuses the additional request to pay a civil penalty and/or attorneys’ fees. Does the “Lemon Law” require it to pay such additional sums in a pre-litigation setting?
Last week, the Fourth Appellate District of the California Court of Appeal addressed such issues in Dominquez vs American Suzuki Motor Corporation, Case No. G038373.
