Lockheed Martin Corp., et al. v. The Superior Court of San Bernardino County [Roslyn Carrillo]

In a ruling of first impression, the California Supreme Court said that medical monitoring is suitable for class action treatment. “[N]o per se or categorical bar exists to a court’s finding medical monitoring claims appropriate for class treatment, so long as any individual issues the claims present are manageable,” the court said.
