Arkansas Louisiana Gas Co. v. Morris

I agree with the result reached but write to point out that we are, in my judgment, overruling our decision in Ford Motor Credit Company v. Nesheim, 287 Ark. 78, 696 S.W.2d 732 (1985). When the Rules of Civil Procedure were adopted, we took the view that class actions would not be favored. Indeed, we looked upon them with disfavor. That view prevailed through the Ford Motor Credit case, decided in 1985.

I think the court has moderated its view regarding class actions.
