During a Zoom hearing on Wednesday, Circuit Judge Mary Jolley denied Fryer’s Towing company’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit filed. No trial date has been set yet.
“I do find that there is a genuine issue of material fact: Specifically as to the sale and whether it truly was public and as to whether the defendants acted in good faith,” Jolley said.
The accusations in the lawsuit against Fryer’s include unjust enrichment, deceptive and unfair trade practices, and fraudulent concealment.
Tesla’s attorney, Justin Niznik, said during the Zoom hearing that Fryer’s goal had been to get the car from the start.
