The Michigan Supreme Court heard oral arguments today, according to RV Daily Report, on Davis v. Forest River. Davis had multiple problems - safety issues - he said - with the Forest River RV he purchased. He took it back several times to the dealer without satisfaction. He "rescinded" the contract in order to get his money back.
This case has gone back and forth to several courts and is now being heard again by the Michigan Supreme Court to determine whether Davis indeed should get his money back.
If you want to read all the legal issues and terms, you can read a summary at One Court of Justice. Bottom line, RV manufacturers do not want consumers to be able to get their purchase price back. Davis got a lemon so feels he is entitled to his money back.
I personally hope Davis prevails based on the scanty facts that were presented. When you read the summaries, there is no mention that Forest River contests that the RV was a lemon. The appeals is based on all sorts of legalese. What do you think? Should the court allow a consumer rescission, or the ability to rescind the contract, since the RV did not live up to what was promised? Jaimie Hall Bruzenak
