Review Denied in Best Buy

In March, we wrote a post about Best Buy Stores v. Superior Court, wherein the 4th District Court of Appeal upheld an Orange County Superior Court order authorizing discovery in a class action case to locate a suitable class representative in cases where the existing class representative has been found to be unsuitable or, in this case, while the court is in the process of determining the suitability of the putative class representative. Last week, the Supreme Court denied review of Best Buy. Though it is a consumer case, some of the language in that opinion should be kept handy on the desktop of every wage and hour class action lawyer.
