GM loses bid to dismiss revived ignition-switch lawsuit – Automotive News
The Meltons’ lawyers repeatedly sought documents from General Motors regarding changes to the ignition switch and GM referred them to the testimony of DeGiorgio, Cooper told Judge Tanksley today.
“We were fraudulently induced into making the settlement,” Cooper said at the hearing. Before settling the case, “we should have known that the lead engineer repeatedly perjured himself, and that GM had changed the switch,” he said.
The Meltons are also seeking sanctions against GM for “misleading the court” while the first case was pending.
