Reynante v. Toyota Motor Sales CA2/5
Plaintiffs Greg Reynante, Julie Reynolds, and Paul Garber appeal from the denial of their motion for class certification. Plaintiffs alleged defendants Toyota Motor Sales USA, Inc., and Toyota Motor North America, Inc. (collectively “Toyota”) violated the Unfair Competition Law (UCL; Bus. & Prof. Code, § 17200 et seq.) and the Consumers Legal Remedies Act (CLRA; Civ. Code, § 1750 et seq.) by providing an online fuel calculator that performed a misleading comparison between Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) fuel economy estimates and a consumer’s estimate of his or her current vehicle’s actual fuel economy.
The trial court denied class certification because individual questions of law or fact predominated over common questions, as well as because the class was not ascertainable and a class action was not superior to individual adjudication. We affirm.
