nokia-lumia-1520-review-17As we’re sure most of you guys already know, Nokia’s mobile phone division is currently and officially owned by Microsoft, which means that Nokia Finland has pretty much washed their hands on that part of their company, or so they thought. According to a report from Reuters, it seems that there is an issue over in Mexico in which the Mexican courts have ruled that Nokia is still responsible for some of their phones.

It seems that there have been some issues with faulty Nokia Lumia handsets, and the Mexican courts have ruled that because these devices were purchased before Microsoft had acquired the company that Nokia is still liable to pay out any damages or offer replacements for said devices.

In fact the lawsuit against Nokia was actually filed in 2010 which was way before Microsoft even announced their plans to acquire Nokia’s mobile phone division. The court went on to state that customers who had purchased a Lumia handset from Nokia that was still giving them problems are eligible to file a claim against the company.

Profeco, the consumer protection agency in Mexico, is asking Nokia to reimburse the cost of the handset to the purchaser and to pay their customers at least 20% of the costs their incurred from the faulty device. Interestingly enough Microsoft was not mentioned in the ruling. Neither Nokia Mexico nor Profeco would comment on the ruling at this point in time.
