      PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW OF AGGREGATE

                                     LITIGATION





                          CHAPTER 2. AGGREGATE ADJUDICATION

            TOPIC   2. SUBSTANTIVE LAW AS A CONSTRAINT ON AGGREGATION

   §2.05 Choice of Law

   S.D.Fla.20 15. Subsec. (b) quot. in sup., quot. in case quot. in sup. Bank customers brought a
   multidistrict action against bank, alleging that defendant wrongfully extracted overdraft fees. This court
   granted plaintiffs' motion for class certification. In reaching its decision, the court determined that
   questions of law or fact common to class members predominated over any questions affecting individual
   members. The court cited Principles of the Law of Aggregate Litigation §2.05(b) and explained that the
   creation of subclasses to address variations in state law was appropriate because it made the cases
   manageable and suitable for class treatment. In re Checking Account Overdraft Litigation, 307 F.R.D.
   630. 646. 652.



          TOPIC  3. SCOPE   OF PRECLUSION AS A CONSTRAINT ON AGGREGATION

   §2.11 Preclusive Effect of the Aggregation Decision Itself

   C.A.9, 2015. Cit. in case cit. in conc. op., com. (c) cit. in ftn. to conc. op. Owners of video-game
   consoles filed a putative class action against manufacturer of the consoles, alleging that the consoles
   contained a design defect that gouged game discs. The district court granted defendant's motion to strike
   plaintiffs' class claims, finding that the denial of class certification in a similar action filed against
   defendant by different plaintiffs had preclusive effect. This court reversed and remanded, holding that
   the district court abused its discretion in granting comity deference to an earlier denial of class
   certification despite an intervening change in law. The concurring opinion explained that, under the
   Principles of the Law of Aggregate Litigation, an earlier denial of certification of a similar class gave
   rise to a rebuttable presumption that the litigation was not amenable to class treatment, but that the
   intervening change in the law rebutted the presumption in favor of that denial. Baker v. Microsoft Corp.,
   797 F.3d 607, 617, 621, superseding 785 F.3d 315.



                          CHAPTER 3. AGGREGATE SETTLEMENTS

                                TOPIC   2. CLASS  SETTLEMENTS
