LEGAL ACTION PROGRAM POLICIES

• The legal action program will be funded with monies made available from time to time as needed by direction of the MSADA Board of Directors to provide legal assistance to dealers in state, federal, municipal or agency proceedings where the outcome would have a substantial impact on the entire dealer body.
• The legal assistance may be in the form of partial reimbursement for attorneys’ fees incurred by the dealer, technical or strategic support provided by MSADA staff or outside consultants, submission of an amicus brief supporting the dealer’s claim, or other appropriate litigation support.

• Taking cases that impact the entire dealer body is not only the policy of this Program, but also a legal requirement that must be kept in order to maintain MSADA’s tax-exempt status.
