关于Ford class action的问题,其他帖子都提过了。我想在这里问些技术问题。
这是Ford class action的网站:http://fordclassaction.com.au
车型含括这几年的Focus, Fiesta和EcoSport。
关于这个class action,好多没弄明白的问题,希望高手和法律人士提点一下:
1. 根据我的理解,只要我是其中一个涵盖车型的车主,我就是group member。法院判决的结果,就是对我和Ford适用的。我不需要去特意注册的。我不知道这样的理解对不?例如:法院如果判Ford对每个车主都赔偿车原价的80%。我作为车主就可以自动享受这个判决,不需要额外注册。当然最后可能从我的赔偿金里划出一部分给打官司的律师行(Bannister Law)
2. 根据那个网站的FAQ,这个class action好像由什么Martin Place Litigation Services (MPLS)组织提供funding。打赢官司了以后,这个MPLS预付的legal fees 和expenses 要从group member(车主们)得倒的赔偿金中扣除,而且这个MPLS还得到赔偿金的30%的commission(或由法院指定的percentage)。我看了这个,心里靠了一下,虽然我们什么都没做,别人出钱出力,但是,把30%划走了,还是很大的一块肉啊。
3. FAQ里说,Ford有offer一些人buy back。原文:
We are aware that Ford is offering some people a buy-back.
As above, this is a personal decision. We cannot advise whether you should accept this offer. If you believe the offer made by Ford is reasonable, based on your vehicles age and kilometres, you should consider accepting this offer.
We are aware that Ford is allowing at least 28 days for you to consider accepting this offer. In this time, you are able to seek independent legal advice.
We are aware that if you proceed with the Ford buy-back, you may be asked to sign a confidentiality agreement and indemnity and to release Ford Motor Company of Australia Limited (ACN 004 116 223) and its dealers from other legal action by you. If you do accept the offer given to you by Ford and sign this Agreement, then you may be unable to claim in the class action depending on the terms of the agreement – this is because the agreement may restrain you from taking any further action. you may wish to seek independent legal advice before you sign a buy-back agreement.
我心在想,会不会自己去和ford讨价还价,最终的来的buy back会比class action的赔偿好(考虑扣除commission和legal fees)。但我也没经验,不知道有没有高手指点一下?
先列这几个问题。抛砖引玉,我想在群里的Ford车主还是不少的,大家积极讨论一下,也为我们华人Ford车主们维维权啊。
