United States Ninth Circuit
Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Company v. EZ-FLO International, Inc., 17-56523
Affirming a district court order remanding a case to state court that was brought by 26 insurance companies in their capacity as the subrogees of 145 insured homeowners against a defendant manufacturer because there was no jurisdiction under the Class Action Fairness Act to qualify as a 'mass action' where the language requiring '100 or more persons' referred to the number of parties bringing suit, not the number of real parties in interest.
