Abstract
The article introduces a symposium that challenges the conventional narrative of MacPherson v. Buick Motor Co. as a decisive victory over the privity rule. It argues that the case's actual influence is more nuanced, misunderstood, or absent than commonly believed, suggesting that the meaning of landmark decisions is shaped by subsequent interpretation rather than the ruling alone.
