UCL/class certification decision on rehearing: Ticconi v. Blue Shield of California Life & Health Ins. Co.

On July 30, 2007, the Court of Appeal (Second Appellate District, Division Three) held that the trial court had erroneously denied class certification of the plaintiffs' UCL claim. Ticconi v. Blue Sheidl of California Life & Health Ins. Co., 153 Cal.App.4th 1123 (2007) (rehearing granted). My post on the original Ticconi opinion is at this link.

On August 10, 2007, the Court of Appeal issued this order (quoted from the docket): "To make non-substantive changes to the opinion, the Court grants rehearing on its own motion. No further briefing is required." On December 4, 2007, the Court of Appeal issued its new opinion: Ticconi v. Blue Shield of California Life & Health Ins. Co., ___ Cal.App.4th ___ (Dec. 4, 2007). As indicated in the docket, the new opinion does not appear to include any substantive changes.
