How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- blending the issue of ascertainability with class definition and cross- referencing a later discussion on predominance and superiority
- finding typicality when named plaintiff and class members all claimed to have been injured by car manufacturer’s failure to disclose a latent defect
- finding used car owner to be an inadequate representative of a class that—by definition—was comprised solely of new car owners
- denied class certification because proposed class definition made it “impossible to definitively identify class members prior to individualized fact-finding and litigation”
- finding class action not superior because the case was unmanageable
