The following excerpt is from Hunter v. Ahearn (In re Hyundai and Kia Fuel Economy Litigation), 926 F.3d 539 (9th Cir. 2019):
Importantly, the Mazza class was certified for litigation purposes. The prospect of having to apply the separate laws of dozens of jurisdictions presented a significant issue for trial manageability, weighing against a predominance finding.7 See also Zinser v. Accufix Research Inst., Inc. , 253 F.3d 1180, 119092 (9th Cir. 2001) (treating state law variations as a subspecies of trial manageability concerns). In settlement cases, such as the one at hand, the district court need not consider trial manageability issues. Amchem , 521 U.S. at 620, 117 S.Ct. 2231.
