Court of Appeals Reverses Denial of Class Certification in Red Barn Motors v Nextgear case.

In the Red Barn Motors v. Nextgear Capital Inc. case the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a district court ruling denying a motion for class certification.  This means that the plaintiff dealers have the chance to form a class to seek recovery for all dealers in the same shoes.  What are the allegations?  The primary allegation is that Nextgear charged interest during a time-period when they had not yet advanced money.

This is not my case. This case was filed long before I started taking cases involving Nextgear. Even so, I am glad the plaintiff’s lawyer prevailed on this issue.  Here’s a link of a writeup on the case.

My office regularly defends dealers when they are sued by Nextgear. We will try to figure out the best way to use this ruling to our advantage in our defensive cases.
