United States Seventh Circuit
American Honda Motor Co. v. Allen, 09-8051
In a class action alleging that a Honda motorcycle had a design defect that prevented the adequate dampening of "wobble," a grant of plaintiff's motion for class certification is vacated where: 1) the district court must perform a full Daubert analysis before certifying a class if the situation warrants; and 2) the district court never actually reached a conclusion about whether plaintiffs' expert report was reliable enough to support plaintiffs' class certification request.
