California Court of Appeal

In a lawsuit alleging violations of Vehicle Code sections 11712.5 and 24014 by defendant motorcycle dealership, denial of class certification is reversed where: 1) because the proposed class definition is sufficient to allow those purchasers of Hondas without hanger tags to identify themselves as members of the class, they will be bound by results of the litigation; and 2) plaintiff's inability to identify the individual class members at this time was irrelevant to class certification.
