In a historic move, on July 23, 2010 the Fifth District Court of Appeal for the State of Florida reinstated a jury’s verdict in favor of a purchaser of a new 2006 Ford Mustang after the trial court had taken away the verdict following trial. The consumer, Nelson Medina, appealed from a final judgment setting aside his jury verdict pursuant to a claim brought against Ford Motor Company for a defective 2006 Ford Mustang. Medina brought suit under Florida’s Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act, popularly known as the Florida Lemon Law, and under the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. The order setting aside the jury verdict was reversed and the case was remanded to the trial court to reinstate the jury’s verdict awarding Medina a full refund under the Florida Lemon Law. As a result, Medina will now also have the right to seek compensation for his attorneys pursuant to a provision of the Florida Lemon Law that allows a consumer who prevails in a Lemon Law action to recover for the fees incurred by the consumer’s lawyer.
