2273 The New Motor Vehicle Board does not have exclusive jurisdiction to hear claims by car dealers against manufacturers, so a trial court was incorrect in dismissing such a claim on the ground of failure to exhaust administrative remedies; since courts are competent to decide cases involving claims by dealers that manufacturers interfered with their economic advantage by manipulating credit requirements, the trial court was also incorrect in referring the matter to the Board under the doctrine of primary jurisdiction.CitationSOUTHBAY v GMAC (Credit Manipulation) 69 CA4 1068 [See: VehC 3050(c); Miller v Superior Court 50 CA4 1665, at 1/97; Hardin v New MV Bd 52 CA4 585, T/AT 3/97; Yamaha v Superior Court 185 CA3 1232]
