Louisiana Revised Statutes 51:483.1 – Indemnification of dealers
Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 51:483.1
- Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
- Rescission: The cancellation of budget authority previously provided by Congress. The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 specifies that the President may propose to Congress that funds be rescinded. If both Houses have not approved a rescission proposal (by passing legislation) within 45 days of continuous session, any funds being withheld must be made available for obligation.
Notwithstanding the terms of any dealer agreement, each agent shall indemnify and hold harmless a dealer against any judgment for damages, including but not limited to court costs and reasonable attorney fees of the dealer, arising out of complaints, claims or lawsuits, including but not limited to strict liability, negligence, misrepresentation, express or implied warranty, or rescission of sale, if the judgment arises out of an alleged defective or negligent manufacture, assembly, design, or modifications or alterations made by a dealer who is authorized by an agent to make such modification or alterations, parts, attachments, or accessories, or other functions by the agent, which are beyond the control of the dealer.
