California Court of Appeal

In order to establish liability for a nondisclosure under either California's Unfair Competition Law or Consumer Legal Remedies Act, plaintiffs need not present individual proof that each class member relied on particular representations made by insurer or its agents; thus, insurer's petition for extraordinary relief, challenging the trial court's order certifying the class, denied.
