Apple loses the legal process concerning the vertical lines

by crispin . Original by Lionel - 06/06/2008 07:47:27 CEST
En Last February, we had spoken about a legal procedure launched by one of our readers against Apple. He had two iMacs, both affected by the famous problem of vertical lines that affected many readers.
The judgement was given yesterday. Apple was condemned to refund this reader for two computers. We will reconsider in detail the judgement, but it is very interesting on several points:
- Dominique, our reader, did not need to get a detailed technical evaluation (this would have been very expensive) to put forward the latent defect.
- For that, the judge agreed to regard the testimonies made on discussion forums as evidence of the extent of the problem.
- The judge qualified that this problem that affected the iMac but also the Powerbook was intrinsic to the manufacture of the machines, in short, a latent defect opening up the right to this refund.
Note that the procedure was made by a local judge, and that there is no right of appeal. Apple can only go to the court of appeal, but this would be very expensive.
Although jurisprudence in France is not amissable in the United States, those which are also affected will be able to try this procedure to obtain a judgement in their favour. To recall, you can only defend yourselves. Our reader prepares a guide in order to help you. Those which are affected by the defective lower memory slot in portables, or by a leak of watercooling in their G5 will be able to follow suit and to win.
