Supreme Court of Arkansas

Seeco, Inc., Appellant v. Eldridge Snow, Appellees — Wood, J., Concurring

December 8, 20162016 Ark. LEXIS 368

Summary

Justice Wood agreed that the class-certification order should be affirmed but declined to join the majority's analysis of the class definition. She expressed concern that limiting the class to Arkansas citizens was designed to avoid federal jurisdiction and could create serious manageability problems when leases are jointly owned by Arkansas and non-Arkansas citizens. Justice Wood, concurring, anticipated that the circuit court might eventually need to decertify the class if those problems materialize.
