  1. “[T]he plaintiffs argue that predominate common factual and legal issues is Eatel's failure to adequately disclose to its customers that the telephones they purchased contain a subsidy lock that renders [the telephones] useless and inoperable with any other service provider upon termination of their services with Eatel. (Emphasis added.)”

  2. “(1) The class is so numerous that joinder of all members is impracticable. (2) There are questions of law or fact common to the class. (3) The claims or defenses of the representative parties are typical of the claims or defenses of the class. (4) The representative parties will fairly and adequately protect the interests of the class. (5) The class is or may be defined objectively in terms of ascertainable criteria, such that the court may determine the constituency of the class for purposes of the conclusiveness of any judgment that may be rendered in the case.”

  3. “Here, the claim of every class member lies in redhibition; the legal theory is the same and each claim arises out of the same course of conduct — Eatel's sales of its telephones with inadequate disclosure of the subsidy locks. We find no error in the trial court's finding that the element of typicality has been established. (Emphasis added.)”
