United States Ninth Circuit

In an appeal from the district court’s Rule 23(b)(3) certification of a nationwide class complaint for false advertising and other related state claims, judgment is reversed where the district court erred because it erroneously: 1) concluded that California law could be applied to the entire nationwide class; and 2) concluded that all consumers who purchased or lease an Acura RL can be presumed to have relied on defendant’s advertisements.
