dealer are deleted as unnecessary in light of
§26-101 of this article to the same effect.
The reference in present Art. 66 1/2,
§5—706 (a) to a violation of paragraphs (1)
through (6) of that section as constituting a
"misdemeanor" is deleted as unnecessary in
light of §27-101 of this article to the same
effect.
The only other changes are in style.
Present Art. 66 1/2, §5-706(b), which provides
for administrative and criminal sanctions for
the violation of that section is deleted.
This provision is unnecessary in light of
§15-212 of this subtitle and Title 27 of this
article.
15-208. REFUSAL TO DELIVER VEHICLES PROHIBITED.
(A) IN GENERAL.
A MANUFACTURER, DISTRIBUTOR, OR FACTORY BRANCH MAY
NOT REFUSE TO DELIVER NEW CLASS A VEHICLES, NEW CLASS B
VEHICLES, OR NEW TWO-STAGE VEHICLES, AS THE CASE MAY BE,
TO A LICENSED DEALER, IN REASONABLE QUANTITIES AND WITHIN
A REASONABLE TIME AFTER RECEIPT OF A WRITTEN ORDER, IF:
(1) THE MANUFACTURER, DISTRIBUTOR, OR FACTORY
BRANCH SPECIFICALLY ADVERTISES THAT THESE VEHICLES ARE
AVAILABLE FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY; AND
(2) THE DEALER HAS A FRANCHISE OR OTHER
CONTRACT WITH THE MANUFACTURER, DISTRIBUTOR, OR FACTORY
BRANCH FOR THE SALE OF THESE VEHICLES TO THE PUBLIC.
(B) EXCEPTIONS.
A FAILURE TO DELIVER VEHICLES BECAUSE OF A LABOR
STRIKE, GOVERNMENT REGULATION, OR OTHER CAUSE NOT THE
FAULT OF THE MANUFACTURER, DISTRIBUTOR, OR FACTORY BRANCH
IS NOT A VIOLATION OF THIS SECTION.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
from Art. 66 1/2, §5-706(a)(3).
In the introductory paragraph of subsection
(a) of this section, a reference is added to
"two—stage vehicles" - defined in §15-101 (d)
of this title — as implicitly required, at
least for consistency, by Ch. 425, Acts of
1976. See revisor's notes to §15-201(b), (c),
and (e) of this subtitle. See, also,
§13—113.2 of this article which requires
dealers in two—stage vehicles to have a
franchise in them.
