Prebushewski V

Prebushewski v. Dodge City Auto (1984) Ltd. involved an action under the Consumer Protection Act. The issue that went to the Supreme Court of Canada was the award of $25,000 in exemplary damages. What did the Supreme Court of Canada hold?

A) The award of exemplary damages was set aside, as it contradicted the overriding principle of caveat emptor.
B) The threshold set by the Consumer Protection Act was unjustifiably low, so the Court severed those provisions from the legislation.
C) The Consumer Protection Act did not apply, because the issue involved the sale of goods.
D) The award of exemplary damages was unwarranted, given that no one had been injured.
E) As long as Chrysler's conduct was voluntary, intentional, and deliberate, this was sufficient to justify an award of exemplary damages.
