As EchoStar phrases it, the issue is: Whether the District Court abused its discretion in prohibiting truthful, non-misleading, pre-certification communications with EchoStar’s retailers and requiring a “corrective notice” that proposes to void one term in their contracts without adjudicating its validity.
Unauthorized communications in a franchise class action, for example, may result in settlements by so many franchises as to eliminate satisfaction of the numerosity requirement of Rule 23(a)(1), thus stripping the action of its representative status and leaving the plaintiff free only to prosecute her or his own individual claim.
EchoStar’s Communication did not advise Retailers that the pending class action complaint might redress the claims and causes of action EchoStar was seeking to have them waive.
