PART 2 M OTOR VEHICLE DEALER'S DAY IN COURT

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

No retroactive effect.

- Because Georgia Motor Vehicle Dealer's Day in Court Act, O.C.G.A. § 10-1-630 et seq., and the Georgia Motor Vehicle Fair Practices Act, O.C.G.A. § 10-1-660 et seq., affect the substantive rights of the parties, the statutes cannot be given retroactive effect. Stamps v. Ford Motor Co., 650 F. Supp. 390 (N.D. Ga. 1986) (decided prior to 1993 reenactment).

Georgia Motor Vehicle Dealer's Day in Court Act, O.C.G.A. § 10-1-630 et seq., in Georgia applied only to acts after July 1, 1983. Ewers v. Ford Motor Co., 843 F.2d 1331 (11th Cir. 1988) (decided prior to 1993 reenactment).
