High Court Rejects Hewlett-Packard's Efforts to Block Class Action Suit

The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed a class action lawsuit to proceed against Hewlett-Packard Co. that alleges Compaq Computer Corp., now a part of HP, sold defective computers. The case involves a lawsuit by two Oklahoma residents, Stephen and Beverly Grider, who allege that Compaq sold them a defective computer and didn't repair or replace it, as called for in the company's warranty. The Griders' request to certify a class of 1.7 million was granted in 2005 by an Oklahoma state court.
