Occidental Land Inc. V. Superior Court Of Orange County

We consider whether the trial court abused its discretion in ruling that a group of homeowners in a planned development subdivision may maintain a class action against the developer for fraudulently misrepresenting the cost and extent of maintenance of the project. Applying the principles enunciated in Vasquez v. Superior Court (1971) 4 Cal. 3d 800 [94 Cal. Rptr. 796, 484 P.2d 964, 53 A.L.R.3d 513], we conclude that the trial court did not err in certifying the action as a class action.
