Thanks to the LDF, NHADA members have achieved landmark victories that protect the rights and livelihoods of auto and equipment dealers across New Hampshire.
A Precedent Setting Victory for Body Shops
In 2022, the Supreme Court decided in favor of Keene Auto Body and NHADA. This victory against insurance agencies will help body shops state-wide recover the costs they are owed from the carriers. The costs of this case were funded by the NHADA Legal Defense Fund.
Standing up for Equipment Dealers
When John Deere, AGCO, and CNH challenged New Hampshire's equipment dealer protection laws, NHADA helped defend the rights of equipment dealers throughout the state. The manufacturers argued that the law unlawfully interfered with their franchise agreements and sought to overturn important dealer protections. After years of litigation, the case made its way all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Ultimately, the manufacturers were unsuccessful, preserving critical protections that equipment dealers across New Hampshire continue to rely on today.
