Supreme Court of Arkansas
Charles Jerry Walker, Tiffany Lognion, and Alphonso Wynn
November 30, 2017531 S.W.3d 387
Summary
The Supreme Court of Arkansas affirmed the denial of class certification in a suit alleging usurious pawn-loan charges and related statutory violations. It held that the proposed classes were not ascertainable because determining class membership would require resolving the ultimate factual issue of whether any debt was incurred in the pawn transactions. The court also concluded that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying certification. No separate opinions were provided.
