Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Oct 13, 2020
JENNIFER TOWNSEND, Individually and on Behalf of Herself and Others Similarly Situated, Plaintiff-Appellant vs. REGIS CORPORATION and DARLEEN MATRANGA, Defendants-Respondents
Jennifer Townsend, individually and on behalf of a putative class, appealed an interlocutory order denying class-action certification against Regis Corporation and Darleen Matranga. The trial court denied certification by a brief docket entry without providing findings of fact or conclusions of law. The appellate court reversed the order and remanded the case, directing the trial court to provide sufficient explanation for its decision on class certification to allow for meaningful appellate review.
