Bernard v. First National Bank of Oregongreen
or · 1976 · cited in 3 Oregon opinions naming this issue, 2013–2015
2 sentences

2013Based on the text of former ORS 13.220(2)(c) and the purpose of the predominance requirement, the court held that whether an action can be maintained as a class action depends on whether it is “‘likely’” that the action will involve individual adjudications “so ‘numerous’ as to make a class action impractical by placing too great a burden upon the court.” 275 Or at 158 -59 (quoting former ORS 13.220(2)(c)).

2013The court observed that class actions were intended to be time-saving consolidation devices for courts and that the predominance requirement was “intended to prevent cases being certified as class actions when questions concerning individual claims would be so numerous as to impose an impractical burden upon the court thereby destroying the value of consolidation.” 275 Or at 152 .

Pearson v. Philip Morris, Inc. green

2026The point of asking whether common issues predominate is to predict the degree to which litigation of the controversy will require delving into individualized proof or, conversely, the degree to which the issues lend themselves to resolution through common proof—that is, proof for one individual class member will be proof for all.” Pearson, 358 Or at 114 .

2016Although, how “the predominance inquiry is answered * * * is a key factor in the trial court’s discretionary assessment of whether a class action will be a fair and efficient means of litigating the case, and thus superior over other available means to resolve the controversy,” Pearson, 358 Or at 111 , ultimately, the relevant question is whether the trial court abused its discretion when it determined superiority of a class action under ORCP 32 B.

1995Thus, LUBA’s interpretation impermissibly nullifies the predominance test in Goal 3 and renders OAR 660-33-020(l)(a)(C) essentially superfluous. ‘LCDC is not, however, free to amend the goals through interpretation.’ 1000 Friends of Oregon v. LCDC (Lane Co.), 305 Or 384, 400 , 752 P2d 271 (1988).
