if you didn't notice.. this will be a huge change ..
While the settlement was being negotiated, the California Supreme Court was considering a broadly similar case. The Court of Appeal had ruled that releases were effective as to negligence claims, but not as to claims of gross negligence

I am really disappointed with our system that they were able to get 8 percent out of porsche just because the car does not have PSM. So now does this mean that if anyone gets in an accident in a car that does not have stability control, they can sue the manufacturer. Granted the CGT is an extreme example and a handful, still very dumb.
