The ongoing litigation over ignition switch issues that resulted in the recall of millions of General Motors vehicles in 2014 took another step forward Wednesday as U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman of the Southern District of New York ruled on a trio of liability issues that extended across as many as 47 local jurisdictions.

Furman’s decision, coming after the fifth amended consolidated complaint in the action, addressed the application of prior motion to dismiss opinions on the issues of unjust enrichment, incidental damages, and manifest defect in dozens of states that had not been subject to the rulings.
