"putative" is the correct word in this association with the MINI suit....meaning assumed to exist already. IOW, since MINI is part of the BMW empire, it is assumed that it would be responsible for any lawsuits MINI is found guilty of - the deepest pockets available and guilt by association.

The judge decided otherwise - that's my take on it.

I also am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV, nor did I sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night, so I'll wait to hear what our law experts say. :biggrin5:

 

I, also, am not a lawyer, but was going to read thru the article, especially when I saw the word "putative". Couple that with water pumps and we could be talking whores and all sorts of water thingies associated with them! :devil: However, upon reading your post a second time, I think your spell checker is off the mark and you should have written "punitive", instead.:arf:

 

This article posted prior to the ruling being issued, but does provide some additional info.
