How courts have described this case

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

  • vacating class certification in part because plaintiffs' claims of deceptive insurance sales practices arose from individual and nonstandardized presentations by numerous independent agents
  • instructing that on remand, district court was required to “ascertain whether all members of the putative class suffered injury in the amount of $75,000, or to limit any class that may be certified to individuals with requisite diversity.”
  • finding error where the “District Court failed to consider how individualized choice of law analysis of the forty-eight different jurisdictions would impact on Rule 23’s predominance requirement. ...”
  • “[i]f commonality ... does not exist, then common questions cannot predominate over individual issues because ... each individual plaintiffs claim raises radically differing factual and legal issues from those of the other plaintiffs”
  • “we [appellate courts] are not factfinders”
