2809 A trial court may not deny certification of a case as a class action because it finds the action to lack merit; if there is a possibility that a class action would prevent a defendant from further engaging in fraudulent or unlawful practices, a trial court should not deny certification because the return to individual class members would be too small to justify the costs of notification.CitationLINDER v THRIFTY OIL (Class Certification) 23 C4 429 [See: CCP 382; Blue Chip Stamps v Superior Court 18 C3 381; Eisen v Carlisle 417 US 156]
