C.A. 4th
D057138
The Fourth Appellate District affirmed a judgment. The court held that consumer class action plaintiffs failed to state claims against an auto liability insurer on the theory that it unlawfully charged them a service fee to cover its costs for allowing them to pay premiums in monthly installments. The court held further that the trial court erred by taxing against the insurer costs it incurred in giving notice to putative class members, as required by law and court order, that the plaintiffs sought discovery of their contact and installment fee payment information.
