p0310 REHEARING GRANTED A trial court should not decide whether to certify a matter as a class action or reclassify it as a limited civil action unless the parties have received proper notice and an opportunity to be heard, and no action should be jurisdictionally reclassified without evidence that it will necessarily result in a verdict below the jurisdictional amount required for classification as an unlimited civil case.CitationSTERN v SUPERIOR COURT (Reclassification) 103 CA4 1216 [See: CCP 85; Walker v Superior Court 53 C3 257]
