The state Supreme Court has upheld a Philadelphia Common Pleas Court class action verdict awarding $5.6 million to owners of Kia sedans with faulty braking systems.
The court voted 6-1 in favor of upholding the verdict in an 80-page majority opinion written by Pennsylvania Chief Justice Ronald D. Castille on Dec. 2. The justices opined that the class was properly certified, that the evidence was sufficient to support the jury’s verdict, the verdict was not against the weight of the evidence, and that the verdict was properly molded to account for a class of plaintiffs with over 9,000 members.
