October 31, 200246 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 103
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded the case, holding that the trial court failed to meet the Rule 42(b)(4) predominance and Rule 42(b)(1) risk requirements and did not properly justify applying Texas law to all class members. The Court also noted that the legislature limits its jurisdiction over interlocutory appeals, and Justice O’Neill dissented, arguing the Court lacks jurisdiction to reach the merits.
