• Norman F. Taylor Esq. offers a book on the lemon laws. Filled with practical information, "Lemon law - The Standard Reference Guide," ISBN 0-9760058-0-8 is a tool for laymen and legal professionals alike. Taylor's second book on the subject exposes all the dirty tricks manufacturers and dealers employ to get the consumer to give up and go away. Every aspect of this important consumer subject is examined. Thousands of new lemon cars and motor homes are sold every year. This carefully written book evens the playing field when consumers must take on manufacturers to exercise their rights.
• In Oklahoma, A proposal to strengthen protections for Oklahoma car buyers has failed in that state's legislature after pressure from General Motor and other automakers. The lemon law passed the House and Senate by wide margins before being sent to a House-Senate conference committee, where it died.

Current law allows the manufacturer to mandate those terms to the consumer.

• MADISON, Wis. - A woman can proceed with a lawsuit alleging a federal law entitles her warranty protection on her Volkswagen even though she leased the car and doesn't own it, the state Supreme Court ruled Friday. The Supreme Court's ruling upheld an appeals court decision in the first legal fight in Wisconsin over whether someone who leases a car has legal standing to enforce a warranty under the federal lemon law. The decision means people who lease cars statewide can bring lawsuits over warranty problems under the federal law, said the woman's attorney, Scott Cohen.
