United States Eleventh Circuit
FRANZE v. EQUITABLE ASSURANCE, 01-11575
Where documents would put a reasonable person on inquiry notice to investigate, insureds lacked standing, both individually and as class representatives, to assert securities fraud claims against an insurer in the sale of insurance policies; without an adequate representative, a court could not properly certify the class.
