Plaintiff experienced problems with a vehicle purchased from the seller, the buyer discovered that the vehicle was declared a total loss after an accident and was repaired by the used car dealership that sold the car to the seller.
iii. Part C – Application of the law (holding) to facts of the client’s case
1. Discuss key facts of client’s case and key facts of case on point
a. Tell how case on point’s holding applies to client’s case Holding – legal principle that applies to the client’s case
The court held that summary judgment was correct as to the charges of fraud and unfair and deceptive trade practices. There was no general issue with regard to the seller’s knowledge of the vehicle’s accident history. Evidence including affidavits of the seller’s employees who stated that they had no knowledge of the accident history and the title from the used car dealership that did not indicate that the vehicle was rebuilt entitled the seller to judgment as a matter of law. Further the seller failure to conduct a complete title search did not constitute an unfair trade practice. ( PLEASE PUT IT IN YOUR OWN WORDS, I COPIED IT RIGHT FROM THE CASE)
Part D – Counter analysis – Counterargument to the primary argument made (most probably outcome.) You may also include a rebuttal to the counterargument if necessary.
AND THIS IS WHERE IT GETS CONFUSING … It should go something like The facts in Ramsey are very similar to the facts our case; Thus N.C. Gen. Stat § 75.1.1 should be employed….
