Class Actions
-
Arnold v.
Cargill Inc. - (D.Minn. Civil No. 01-2086 DWF/AJB)
September 24, 2004 - The
District Court disqualifies Plaintiff's class counsel on a variety of
ethical grounds following the revelation that they had
apparently reviewed and retained copies of 2,000 pages of
privileged and confidential documents from a former management
employee in an employment discrimination case.
-
Reinke v. Harold Chevrolet-Geo - Minn.Ct.App. C902-409 - August
20, 2002 - The Minnesota Court of Appeals finds that
Minnesota courts ruling on class certification are not required
to make specific findings on the proper measure of damages, or
the specific proof required to substantiate each element of the
underlying claims.
-
Lewy v. Investment Advisors Inc. C6-02-416 (Minn.Ct.App. 2002)
The Minnesota Court of Appeals finds certification of a class
under Minnesota Rule of Civil Procedure 23 is proper when the
class satisfies the mandatory requirements of numerosity,
commonality, typicality, and adequacy of representation, and if
common questions of law and fact predominate to make a class
action the superior method for fairly and efficiently resolving
the controversy. When common questions of law and fact
predominate on the cause of damages, individual variations on
the amount of damages will not preclude class certification.
