World Business News | 2007/04/20 02:08

General Motors sold record 2.26 million cars and trucks around the world in the first quarter of 2007, according to preliminary sales figures released Thursday. GM global first quarter sales were up by 67,000 vehicles, or 3 percent, compared with sales of 2.19 million in the first quarter 2006. Global market share is estimated at 13.0 percent, compared with 13.1 percent a year ago.

"GM posted record sales in the first quarter driven by exceptionally strong demand in emerging markets," said John Middlebrook, GM vice president, Global Sales, Service and Marketing Operations.

"We saw more than 20 percent growth in the Asia/Pacific region and had 17 percent growth in the Latin America, Africa and Middle East region," he said.

In the Asia/Pacific region, GM sold a record of 388,000 vehicles. GM remained the top-selling automaker in China and sold 100,000 vehicles in a month for only the second time.

In the Latin America, Africa and Middle East region, GM sales reached an industry-best 269,000 vehicles, a record for the fist quarter and up 17 percent in volume compared with 2006. Sales in Brazil were up 12 percent for the quarter.

Class action or a representative action is a form of lawsuit in which a large group of people collectively bring a claim to court and/or in which a class of defendants is being sued. This form of collective lawsuit originated in the United States and is still predominantly a U.S. phenomenon, at least the U.S. variant of it. In the United States federal courts, class actions are governed by Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule. Since 1938, many states have adopted rules similar to the FRCP. However, some states like California have civil procedure systems which deviate significantly from the federal rules; the California Codes provide for four separate types of class actions. As a result, there are two separate treatises devoted solely to the complex topic of California class actions. Some states, such as Virginia, do not provide for any class actions, while others, such as New York, limit the types of claims that may be brought as class actions.
