In plaintiffs' lawsuit asserting claims for breach of warranty and products liability on behalf of itself and other buyers of Learjets, denial of plaintiffs' motion to certify two classes and an order to remand the case back to the state court on the ground that the denial of the class certification eliminated subject-matter jurisdiction under the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005 (CAFA) is reversed and remanded as federal jurisdiction under the Class Action Fairness Act does not depend on certification.
