Aguiar v. Cintas Corp. No. 2
Plaintiffs filed this lawsuit as a putative class action against their employer, for violation of the Los Angeles Living Wage Ordinance and related claims. The trial court denied their motion for class certification, finding the proposed class was not ascertainable and lacked a well-defined community of interest and class treatment was not the superior means to resolve the litigation. Because the complexities of the case on which the trial court relied to find class certification inappropriate can be addressed by the use of subclasses and, with those issues resolved, the requirements for class treatment are satisfied, court reversed the order denying certification and remanded the matter with directions for the trial court to certify two subclasses of employer's employees and to conduct further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion.
