GM to Ask Court to Reject Revival of Georgia Switch Suit

General Motors Co. will ask a Georgia judge tomorrow to reject a bid to revive the lawsuit that helped trigger the recall of 2.59 million cars over faulty ignition switches.

The lawsuit, brought by the parents of Brooke Melton, 29, who died in a 2010 crash of a Chevy Cobalt, was settled last year. The Meltons filed a new complaint in May, claiming General Motors fraudulently had concealed defects in the Cobalt and withheld evidence before the accord was reached.
