A federal judge has ruled that class claims for economic damages against Toyota Motor in the sudden, unintended acceleration multidistrict litigation can go forward based on the injuries alleged.

In the first sudden acceleration case to go to trial, a New York federal jury has found that Toyota Motor Sales was not strictly liable because the product in question wasn’t defective.

Toyota Motor has agreed on the final details about how to turn over its source code, the “crown jewels” of the company, to the lead plaintiffs lawyers in the multidistrict litigation over sudden acceleration.

The U.S. District Court for Central California last week appeared to put an end to Dimitrios Biller’s long-running dispute against his former employer, Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A.

Toyota Motor Corp. moved on Thursday to dismiss a consolidated lawsuit alleging that its shareholders suffered massive losses following a string of recent recalls associated with floor mats and accelerator pedals.
