Heading: The Automobile Dealers Day In Court Act.

Text: 14 The District Court was correct in concluding that FMC did not violate the Act. As this Court in Overseas Motors stated, [t]he cases have uniformly held that evidence of coercion or intimidation is necessary to a showing of lack of good faith under the statute.... Overseas Motors, Inc., 519 F.2d at 125. No evidence of coercion was presented in this case. In fact, because the Heavy Duty Truck Sales Agreements authorize heavy-duty truck dealerships to sell such trucks to regular-line dealerships and regular-line dealerships to resell these trucks, FMC might be charged with violating the Act had it attempted to prevent defendants Mullins from engaging in this practice. 15
