Halloran & Sage successfully defended this class action against an automobile dealership alleging an unfair trade practice of charging excessive conveyance fees. The plaintiffs claimed that a statute regulating the disclosure and certain other aspects of dealer conveyance fees also limited the amount dealers could charge by virtue of the statute’s definition of such fees as charged "to recover reasonable costs for processing all documentation and performing services related to the closing of a sale…" Halloran & Sage obtained a reservation to appeal concerning the central question of statutory interpretation. The Appellate and Supreme Courts held that the statute does not regulate the amount that dealers could charge as conveyance fees.
