Richard Kline v. Coldwell, Banker & Co., Realtors
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (1974) | 508 F.2d 226; 19 Fed. R. Serv. 2d 819
TL;DR: The court denied class action certification for a massive antitrust lawsuit against thousands of real estate brokers, finding that individual questions of liability and damages overwhelmed common issues, rendering the case unmanageable under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23.
Legal Significance: This case established a key precedent for denying class certification in large-scale antitrust cases where proof of individual participation and injury is required, emphasizing the predominance and manageability requirements of Rule 23(b)(3).
