For most of us going into court without a lawyer is a daunting thought. A Southern California woman who challenged the legal status-quo by filing a small-claims action against Honda won her lawsuit.  Her complaint was that her hybrid Honda had not provided the promised fuel economy that had been advertised.  She won!

This event will induce others to go into small claims courts all over the country.  Companies and people should be held accountable for their actions and promises.
