How courts have described this case

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

• noting that a defendant in a consumer protection, negligent misrepresentation case, has a right “to present evidence negating a plaintiffs direct or circumstantial showing of causation and reliance”
• finding that evidence relating to the “causal nexus between alleged misrepresentations and any injury” is highly relevant, and the need for “plaintiff-by-plaintiff determinations mean[t] that common issues [would] not predominate”
• noting that courts that have approved issue certification still “have declined to certify such classes where the predominance of individual issues is such that limited class certification would do little to increase the efficiency of the litigation”
• noting the “difficulty with class treatment of cases alleging fraud or misrepresentation”
