Published: Sep. 1, 2012 | Result Date: Jul. 3, 2012 | Filing Date: Jan. 1, 1900 |Case number: HG10525534 Verdict – Defense
Facts
Derek Jarvis purchased a vehicle from Harvey and Madding Inc., dba Dublin Honda. Jarvis traded in an old vehicle as a down payment on the new one. Jarvis claimed that Dublin Honda failed to pay off the loan on Jarvis' trade vehicle and wrongfully repossessed it. He sued for breach of contract and conversion.
Dublin Honda denied Jarvis' allegations and contended that the dealership lawfully repossessed the vehicle. It cancelled the deal when Jarvis failed to qualify for financing due to exaggerating his income on his credit application.
Result
The jury found that Dublin Honda properly sent Jarvis a notice of rescission within the time allowed by the terms of the contract, and thus had the legal right to repossess the vehicle.
