What would be required to have at least 8 named plaintiffs in a personal injury action?
The following excerpt is from Baker v. Microsoft Corp., 797 F.3d 607 (9th Cir. 2015):
8 Different named plaintiffs would be required because the original named plaintiff, as party to the suit, would be precluded from relitigating the matter. See Taylor v. Sturgell, 553 U.S. 880, 892, 128 S.Ct. 2161, 171 L.Ed.2d 155 (2008) (describing basic principles of claim and issue preclusion).
