Trial judge suggests that the government look at the lemon law which provides a remedy for purchasers of consumer goods. FMTNews Court Car

The court was told that a company had to spend RM200 a day to rent a vehicle while its new car was being repaired for more than two years.

She allowed the plaintiff’s claim for RM1,779 as special damages and RM88,300 for the loss of use of the car and interest as mentioned in the statement of claim. When the car was left at the defendants’ service centre for repairs, the plaintiff had to hire another car at RM200 a day from Oct 15, 2013 to March 13, 2016.

She said the plaintiff inevitably sustained losses as it had to continue paying for the car’s hire purchase instalments on the one hand but was not be able to use it, on the other. Unfortunately, in this case, she said, it was clear from the documentary evidence the car had numerous defects with its gearbox and engine mounting.
