Lawyers suing Toyota Motor Corp. and those for the automaker were told by a federal judge to quickly resolve an evidence dispute so the first cases over unintended sudden acceleration of its vehicles can go to trial in the first three months of 2013.
U.S. District Judge James V. Selna in Santa Ana, California, told the lawyers to resolve their differences over procedures for examining the Toyota’s source code for its electronic throttle control system, which has been blamed by some plaintiffs for instances of unintended acceleration.
