Federal Judge Rules Carfax The Winner In Lawsuit

CENTREVILLE, Va., Dec. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Carfax welcomed a ruling by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York concluding that a lawsuit filed against Carfax by Maxon Hyundai Mazda should be dismissed. The judge found no basis to let the case go forward.

In her decision, U.S. District Judge Alison J. Nathan reviewed the evidence collected to that point and found that plaintiffs' claims that Carfax's activities improperly foreclosed competition for the sale of vehicle history reports failed as a matter of law. For that reason, the Judge dismissed the case and granted judgment to Carfax.

Starting with the Carfax Vehicle History Report – the most comprehensive collection of used vehicle information ever assembled – the company has been pioneering innovative products for consumers and dealers for more than 30 years.
