Ronald's answer: In spite of what everyone seems to think, there is generally no 3 day right to cancel a sale of anything in life unless they sell it to you at your front door and oftentimes not even then. But each state also has other consumer protection laws that can help you out too. Also, most state Lemon Laws only cover vehicles sold new or else bought during a short time (usually a year or two and not more than for about 18,000 to 24,000 miles) after the first retail delivery. Each state's lemon law is different so you need to look at this 50 State Lemon Law Summaries table to see how your state's law works: http://www.ohiolemonlaw.com/state-lemon-law-summaries.htm. To find out what your Lemon Law rights are, you should talk to a lemon law attorney near you. Call your local attorney bar association and ask for a referral to a Consumer Law or Lemon Law attorney near you. Or, you can check this web page's Free National List of Lemon Law Lawyers to find a local lawyer: http://www.ohiolemonlaw.com/locate-a-local-attorney.shtml.

Ronald's answer: Generally Florida's Lemon Law appears to only apply to new motor vehicles and you can only enforce it if you acquired the vehicle (sale or lease) during the first 24 months after it was sold new. However, other consumer protection laws may be able to help you. To find out, contact your local attorney bar association and ask for a referral to a Lemon Law attorney near you. There are several in the Orlando area. You can also look for one on this web page where a free 50 State List of Lemon Law Lawyers is posted: http://www.ohiolemonlaw.com/locate-a-local-attorney.shtml. Lawyers do not pay to get listed on this page and most of them are members of the only national association for Consumer Law lawyers, NACA.net.

How many individuals are required in order to file a class action lawsuit?: Is there a lower limit on the number of individuals required to file a class action law suit?

Posted 29 days ago in Class Action

Ronald's answer: All the answers seem to be right but your question also seems to be more practical. Let me put it this way. You only need one person to start a class action lawsuit but for the court to "certifiy" it as a class action (which is the court saying that your case actually will proceed as a class action), you have to have what the law calls "numerosity." That means you have to have enough people who have been affected by the legally wrong act to make it more convenient for the court to treat it all in one case instead of having each person file their own lawsuit. Often, the quantity depends on the court, the state, the case, the circumstances, etc. In some states, there are cases that have given some general guidelines (like in Ohio it would be at least 40 people who could be "members" of the class) but in many states there is no specific number and it will just depend on the circumstances of the case. Class action cases can be extraordinarily difficult for the attorney to handle for you and they can take a lengthy time to get through the court process or to get settled. Most of them settle without ever having to go to trial.
