California Court of Appeal

In case involving proposed class action under the Consumers Legal Remedies Act (CLRA) and the Unfair Competition Law (UCL) based on alleged failure to disclose that color composition of roof tiles would erode, court's refusal to certify a class is reversed where an "inference of common reliance"--as opposed to requiring a showing of "actual reliance"--may be applied to CLRA and UCL classes.
