Can a California class action extend beyond the state borders?
It is possible for a class action in California courts to include class members nationwide. Generally, where a class action extends beyond the state borders, the underlying events upon which the lawsuit is based must have a reasonable connection with the state. The applicable rules will normally require that the absent class members receive effective notice and be given the option of excluding themselves from the class action.
