Seeco Inc. v. Stewmon

Summary

The court affirmed class certification in an interlocutory appeal arising from claims that affiliated entities improperly charged Arkansas gas lessors for gathering, compression, treatment, and marketing. It held that the appeal was limited to issues directly related to certification, that the class definition was objectively ascertainable, and that the record adequately supported the Rule 23 requirements. The court also upheld substitution of DeVazier as class representative and rejected challenges to her typicality and adequacy.
