Due
Process takes stock of New Jersey’s
Lemon Law. Sixteen years and millions
of settlement dollars after its passage,
it’s being hailed as one of the
toughest in the country. It’s also
become a big business for lemon lawyers.
And though it’s made car buying
less perilous … does it go far
enough? We focus, in our opening mini-doc,
on a recent Hudson County case where
the misled buyer sued the car manufacturer
to get a new truck and a cash award,
too. The pros and cons of the law – and
its application – in our studio
segment with the acting director of the
New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs,
Jeff Burstein, attorney Kevin McKeon,
who defends car manufacturers, and Bob
Silverman, whose practice is devoted
totally to breach of warranty and lemon
law cases for the consumer.
