Bernard v. Thigpen

In Bernard v. Thigpen, 96-752 (La. App. 5th Cir. 4/29/97), 695 So. 2d 518, the Court upheld certification early in the proceeding, but specifically noted that the trial judge "retains control of the proceeding and he can modify or even withdraw certification as the case develops, which could well happen here once causation is in focus." Id. at 520.
