02/08/2011 ORAL ARGUMENT HELD
07/06/2011 NOTICE-SUPPLEMENTAL AUTHORITY RS Safeway Premium Finance Company BY: RS Maria Elena Abate 770418 O&7
07/07/2011 DISP-QUASHED & REMANDED The Third District in Sosa erred by not applying the abuse of discretion standard of review to the trial court's order granting class certification, and by conflating its class certification review by incorrectly addressing section 627.835's "knowingly" requirement during its examination of whether Sosa satisfied rule 1.220's requirements and failing to consider the common course of conduct and routine billing practice that produce an alleged statutory violation. The Third District also erred because Sosa and the putative class members satisfied rule 1.220's requirements for class certification, with Sosa having legal standing to serve as class representative. We, therefore, quash the decision in Sosa, approve the decisions in Glen Cove and Olen Properties, and remand this case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
