How courts have described this case

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

• stating that a “class representative’s failure to move for class certification is a strong indication that he will not fairly and adequately represent the interests of the class” (citations omitted)
• expunging class claim because, inter alia , the representative's failure to seek class certification expeditiously precluded him from invoking class action rules and holding that \[t]he claim cannot be allowed as a class claim until the bankruptcy court directs that Rule 23 apply\
• “As the case moves toward its conclusion, it is more likely that a delay in resolving the certification issue will interfere with the administration of the estate”
• “A bankruptcy proceeding offers the same procedural advantages as the class action because it concentrates all the disputes in one forum.”
• where class representative claimed damages of only $922.15, the stakes were not substantial enough to justify certification of a class claim
