Kolupar v. Wilde Pontiac Cadillac, Inc. (2007)
From Judgepedia
Justice Louis Butler authored the majority opinion, which, over the vigorous dissents of Justices John P. Wilcox and David T. Prosser, concluded that Retail buyer of used automobile was entitled to award of "reasonable costs," in pursuing claim under statute prohibiting unsavory practices in the retail sale or lease of a motor vehicle, and not just “taxable costs” as specified in the rule actually governing the matter in civil actions, even though such costs would possibly exceed the total recovery under the statute. The dissent heavily criticized the Majority decision, noting that it ignored the plain-language of the statute in order to obtain a plaintiff-friendly result.
