The notice further stated that if the defendant was found liable for damages, each class member would have “a separate hearing to determine what damages would be awarded.” (Emphasis added.) Thus, when the class was certified, the defendant recognized that individual class members would seek damages for personal injuries suffered as a result of its failure to provide adequate hot water.
