NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an action for breach of warranty and punitive damages.
FACTS: Batchelor (P) relied on the representation of Hibschman's (D) employees that D had
an excellent service department and bought a car from D. The car had numerous defects and
had to be serviced at least 20 times. D repeatedly assured P that his car had been repaired;
many of the items had not been touched. P took the car elsewhere and it was quickly fixed. P
sued Pontiac (D1) and D for breach of warranty. P requested punitive damages against D. P
was awarded $1,500 in damages and $15,000 for punitives. D appealed and the punitive damages
were denied. P appealed.
