California
Appeals Court Sides With Porter Ranch Gas Leak Victims |
|
An
appeals court in California has sided with the victims of a gas leak in Porter
Ranch in 2015. Ruling against Southern California Gas Co., the three-judge
panel of the 2nd District Court of Appeal remanded the issue to a Los Angeles
Superior Court judge for a further hearing to determine "whether petitioners
can prove damages from the three-day delay in reporting the leak, as charged
in the criminal complaint." According to the lawsuit, Southern California Gas
failed to immediately report the leak, which began Oct. 23, 2015, and wasnâ??t
capped until mid-February 2016. Misdemeanor charges of discharging air
contaminants and of failing to report the release of hazardous materials were
dismissed.

Investigation:
Ford Knew Focus, Fiesta Cars Had Defective Transmissions, Kept Selling
Them |
|
Ford
Motor Co. knowingly launched two cars with defective transmissions and
continued selling the troubled Focus and Fiesta despite thousands of
complaints and an avalanche of repairs, a Free Press investigation found. The
automaker pushed past company lawyersâ?? early safety questions and a veteran
development engineerâ??s warning that the cars werenâ??t roadworthy, internal
emails and documents show. Ford then declined, after the depth of the problem
was obvious, to make an expensive change in the transmission technology.
