Before you read the passage, talk about these questions.

a) How are laws created in your country? Do you think that

system works well?

b) How do national and local laws differ?

Dear Ms. Martin,

I finished my research on the Great Cars Incorporated

(GCI) lawsuit. Here are the important notes:

Recent national legislation requires a lot of safety

testing. GCI did not follow that policy. But the statute

is new, so it may not pertain to our case.

There is a precedent. A suit against Car Masters was

dismissed two years ago. The company did not make

changes to meet state laws fast enough. A judge dismissed

the case after Car Masters met the requirements.

Still, the plaintiff may sue under a relevant constitutional

law. But court rules don’t allow him to change the lawsuit

Let me know if you have any questions.
