Ruling says Toyota can't require arbitration for unintended acceleration plaintiffs

U.S. District Judge James Selna – who has presided over the unintended acceleration cases against Toyota since 2010 – says the automaker does not have the right to compel 20 named plaintiffs into arbitration. The plaintiffs are seeking class-action status for lawsuits covering economic losses from the alleged issue of unintended acceleration. Toyota had maintained that leasing and purchase agreements signed by the owners denies owners the right to class-action litigation.
According to Bloomberg, although the ruling covers all 20, the are two kinds of plaintiffs in this instance.
