Contentions
PLAINTIFF'S CONTENTIONS:
Plaintiff contended that in 2009, Apple's then-new line of iMac computers were plagued with numerous problems, including a screen defect that made the computer's display not work properly. Plaintiff contended that Apple received numerous consumer complaints, and in 2011, Apple released a new version of the computer, but did not fix the display problem. Plaintiff claimed the iMacs continued to have the same display problem, and consumers who purchased the computer were forced to repair it on their own.
Rasmussen asserted causes of action for unlawful, unfair, and fraudulent business practices, and violations of the California Consumer Legal Remedies Act.
DEFENDANT'S CONTENTIONS:
Apple moved to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim for relief.
Result
The court granted Apple's motion to dismiss.
