Constitutional Muster

• According to the Supreme Court of Nevada opinion granting a writ of mandamus, Judge Scotti's prior restraint of the RJ and AP did not pass "constitutional muster." [RJ]
• Last week the Supreme Court issued an unpublished decision in Aliante Master Association v. Prem Deferred Trust, reversing a decision by Judge Mark Denton that had awarded almost $1 million against the association. It also addresses the issue of class certification and amounts to a big win for HOAs and their collection agents. 
• Another decision making the rounds comes from Judge Lloyd George in Bridge v. Credit One Financial  in which he ruled that a class action could not be certified in a TCPA case involving “capture” of a son’s cell phone number when he logged into his mother’s Credit One account without her permission.
