Class action; breach of contract; automobile insurance; actual cash value; appraisal provision; binding; moot. - Trial court's decision granting class certification is reversed because the plaintiff's individual claims became moot prior to class certification. The trial court ordered the parties to undergo a contractually mandated appraisal process. The subsequent appraisal award was contractually binding on both parties, and the insurance company tendered payment to plaintiff, leaving no live controversy between the parties.
