The following excerpt is from Olson v. Cory, 140 Cal.App.3d 379, 189 Cal.Rptr. 570 (Cal. App. 1983):
Respondents contend that the damages were not certain or capable of being made certain because the total amount that they had to pay to the class was not fixed until Olson v. Cory determined the extent of the amendment's invalidity. The uncertainty that existed, however, was a legal uncertainty as to respondents' liability and not a factual uncertainty as to the extent of damages.
