Class Certification Denial In Mohawk RICO Case Overturned

Posted on June 5, 2009 by Thomas Walker

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit handed down a 22-page ruling on May 14, 2009 holding that the district court abused its discretion when it denied the plaintiffs' motion seeking class certification.
