Convent Corporation v. City of North Little…

Summary

The court held that only the denial of class certification was immediately appealable; the dismissals, denial of judgment on the pleadings or summary judgment, and asserted denial of injunctive relief were not independently appealable in this interlocutory appeal. Because the circuit court denied class certification solely because Convent presented no evidence at the hearing, without considering admissible exhibits in the record or applying the Rule 23 requirements, the court reversed and remanded. Justice Rhonda K. Wood, dissenting, would have affirmed because Convent was no longer a member of the proposed class after dismissal of the claims underlying that class.
