CLARK, Justice.1
hWe granted certiorari in these three consolidated writ applications to determine whether the lower courts correctly applied *825the standards for analyzing class action certification set forth in La. C.C.P. art. 591, et seq. After reviewing the record and the applicable law, we find the lower courts erred in concluding the plaintiff satisfied the threshold requirement of numer-osity, necessary for class certification. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment of the district court which granted plaintiffs motion for class certification.
