  • Office of the Attorney General Florida New Motor Vehicle Arbitration Board
    OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FLORIDA NEW MOTOR VEHICLE ARBITRATION BOARD CASE SUMMARIES January 1997-March 1998 JURISDICTION: Ramirez & Gendler v. Nissan Motor Corporation, 1996-1143/FTL (Fla. NMVAB Dec. 12, 1996) The Manufacturer asserted that the Board lacked jurisdiction to consider the Consumer’s claim because the defect complained of stemmed directly from an accident. The defect complained of was an electric short with an air bag sensor. The Board concluded that the dispute between the parties to this case involved issues of product liability or negligence connected with the accident. The matters raised in this case were found to be outside the scope of the board’s authority. The claim was dismissed. Darling v. Ford Motor Co., 1997-0758/FTM (Fla. NMVAB Oct. 7, 1997) Prior to the arbitration hearing, the Consumer voluntarily surrendered his vehicle to the Lessor and made no arrangements with the Lessor to regain possession or custody of the vehicle. The Board concluded that Section 681.104(2)(a), Florida Statutes (1995) contemplated that the Consumer would be in possession of the vehicle or otherwise capable of delivering the vehicle to the Manufacturer if the Consumer prevailed in arbitration. Since the Consumer no longer had possession or title to the vehicle, he was not eligible for arbitration by the Board and the case was dismissed. Ramos v. American Isuzu Motors, Inc., 1998-0048/JAX (Fla. NMVAB March 11, 1998) The Consumer purchased her vehicle in Florida but subsequently moved to Connecticut. All of the repairs were performed in Connecticut. The Consumer requested arbitration by the Better Business Bureau in Connecticut and informed the BBB the vehicle had been purchased in Florida.

Thanks to the generosity of food donors, financial donors, in-kind donors and volunteers, that community has grown as Second Helpings now reaches people in need in five counties – Marion, Hamilton, Hendricks, Boone and Johnson. This report highlights the contributions of two food donors – Kroger and Whole Foods, and how their gifts have advanced our mission. You’ll also hear from a longtime volunteer, Dick Bender, who has logged thousands of hours in the Hunger Relief kitchen while also introducing others to Second Helpings’ work. Under the leadership of Executive Chef Kathy Jones, the Hunger Relief program has continued to expand not just in numbers and geography, but in responding to the different needs of the people we serve. This past summer they piloted a hot breakfast program for a local Boys and Girls Club. The club staff reported back that with a hot breakfast to start their day, the youth were now more alert, attentive, and engaged during programs. We can’t underestimate the importance of good food and good nutrition for growing minds and bodies, and you will read in this report about the impact that Second Helpings meals have had for young A MESSAGE athletes across Indianapolis in helping them to excel both on and off the field.
