Now Automotive News reports that GM has failed to convince a Georgia judge to dismiss a revived lawsuit over the death of a 29-year-old woman that helped trigger the automaker's ignition-switch recall crisis. Cobb County State Court Judge Kathryn Tanksley set a trial date for April 2016, making the pace of English litigation look positively frantic.See the complaint here if you are interested.
