How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that the Ninth Circuit has not addressed the evidentiary standard at the class certification stage
• stating that “[plaintiffs are not required to specify the exact number of persons in the class, but cannot rely on conclusory allegations that joinder is impractical. Mere speculation as to the numbers of parties involved is not sufficient to satisfy Rule 23(a)(1)”
• “If statutory damages had been available to plaintiff . . . without the requirements of detrimental reliance and proof of actual damages, Rule 23(b)(3) certification would be entirely appropriate.”
