California Court of Appeal

The trial court's order denying class certification to a putative class consisting of managerial employees allegedly misclassified as exempt is reversed, where: 1) the class is adequately represented by plaintiffs, whose claims are typical of the class; 2) the trial court failed to assess means by which plaintiffs' theory could be proved through resolution of common questions of fact and law; and 3) the trial court must reconsider whether class certification provides a superior method of resolving plaintiffs' claim.
