California Court of Appeal
Perkin v. San Diego Gas & Electric Co., D062923
Dismissal of plaintiff's claims seeking to recover for fire-related losses is affirmed, where: 1) plaintiff's claims are barred the applicable statute of limitations period of three years; and 2) this limitations period had not been tolled by the pendency of a related class action, which did not provide defendant with notice of potential claims as required by Jolly v. Eli Lilly & Co. (1988) 44 Cal.3d 1103 and the unique characteristics of the purported class action made clear that the intended class would not be certified.
