MARYLAND CASE FOR COMMERCIAL LITIGATION
Facts:
The two-count complaint in this case, a putative class action, was filed on February 4, 2009, by plaintiff, Alicia Gomez (“Gomez”), against defendant Jackson Hewitt, Incorporated (“Jackson Hewitt”). The complaint alleged a violation of the Credit Services Business Act (“CSBA” or the “Act”) and a violation of the Consumer Protection Act (“CPA”) arising out of Jackson Hewitt’s arrangement of Refund Anticipation Loans (“RALs”) on behalf of Gomez and other Maryland customers of its tax preparation services. Defendant filed a motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim. When defendant moved to dismiss, no motion for class certification had been filed.
Issue:
Whether the defendant’s motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim should be granted?
Discussion:
This court held that while Md. R. 2-231(c) directed it to determine, as soon as practicable, whether the case could be maintained as a class action, if, as defendant alleged, there was no viable cause of action, then the court could rule on the motion to dismiss before determining whether a class should be certified.
