Legal Opinion
Stonebridge Life Insurance Co. v. Pitts
Texas Supreme Court
Decided August 31, 2007No. 06-0655PublishedCited by 56 opinions
1Per curiam
Consumers brought this class-action suit for “money had and received” to recover premiums they were charged pursuant to an allegedly misleading telemarketing scheme involving accidental death and dismemberment insurance. 1 The trial court certified a statewide class, and the court of appeals affirmed. 236 S.W.3d 226. We conclude that individualized inquiry will predominate over common issues of proof, making the claim inappropriate for class certification. Accordingly, we decer-tify the class and remand the case to the trial court for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
