US District Court denies class certification in dealer suit against M&M

21 Mar 2014 Evaluate

United States District Court in Atlanta, USA, issued an order on March 14, 2014 denying the plaintiffs' motion for class certification in a lawsuit brought by US automobile dealers against Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M). The plaintiffs in Ackerman vs Mahindra & Mahindra, took legal action against M&M based on agreements they had made with Global Vehicles USA, Inc, a former distributor for the company. The plaintiffs sought to represent all dealers who entered into agreements with Global Vehicles to sell Mahindra vehicles in the United States.

The court concluded that a number of factual and legal issues regarding dealer claims must be resolved on a case-by-case basis, and that this case was inappropriate for class certification. This order is a significant achievement for Mahindra in its defense of these claims, as these claims can now proceed in litigation only on an individual basis. Mahindra is satisfied with this result, and remains convinced that the dealer claims brought against it in this and other suits have no merit.

Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) is the flagship company of the Mahindra Group, a multinational conglomerate based in Mumbai, India. Amongst the various business interests of its parent group, the company is mainly involved in the automobile manufacturing. It is one of the leading auto companies of India.
