In Solomon v. Bell Atlantic Corp. (9 AD3d 49 [1st Dept 2004]), the First Department decertified a class in an action against Verizon Communications, where the action was based upon Verizon's false advertisements regarding the speed of its DSL service. The Appellate Division found that "[i]n a class action alleging deceptive acts and practices and false advertising, the proof must show that each plaintiff was reasonably deceived by the defendant's misrepresentations or omissions and was injured by reason thereof" (9 AD3d at 52).
