New class certification decision: Dunbar v. Albertson's, Inc.

In Dunbar v. Albertson's, Inc., ___ Cal.App.4th ___ (Jul. 20, 2006), the Court of Appeal (First Appellate District, Division One) affirmed an order denying class certification. Yesterday, the opinion was ordered published, but I don't see anything particularly noteworthy in it. According to the docket, seven publication requests were filed, six by non-parties.

UPDATE: The blog Wage Law has some additional commentary on the Dunbar decision, which is an employee misclassification case. I agree with Wage Law's observation that Dunbar is yet more proof that after Sav-on, trial court orders either granting or denying class certification are unlikely to be reversed on appeal.
