The Case

From the Paper:

"In this particular case the fact that the buyer had only driven the vehicle for 7/10 of a mile provided strength for the argument of Lemon Law violation."
"Society believes and understands that during the course of a test drive while vehicle shopping there is stress and excitement that may prevent the buyer from being able to detect any flaws of the car. However, the first few miles that the buyer owns the vehicle are accepted by society and the UCC as "exciting" and telling as he or she begins to settle into vehicle ownership. The law understands this and consequently provides a reasonable time period for defects to be discovered and the contract broken."
