spurious class action

spurious class action
One of the former categories of class action in which interests of members of class were several and not interdependent, and where joinder was a matter of efficiency to avoid multiplicity of suits. Slack v. Stiner, C.A.Tex., 358 F.2d 65, 69.
This category of class action no longer exists under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23 as revised.
