California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Espejo v. Copley Press, Inc., 13 Cal.App.5th 329, 221 Cal.Rptr.3d 1 (Cal. App. 2017):
Kight v. CashCall, Inc. (2014) 231 Cal.App.4th 112, 125126, 179 Cal.Rptr.3d 439.) We find no significant change in circumstances between the time the class was certified and the time of trial that would support our decertifying the class or reversing the judgment on the ground of inadequacy of the class representatives.
