    It cannot realistically be contended that treble damages sought here by over 365 persons are ancillary or appurtenant to injunctive relief. See, e. g., Eisen v.

Then District Judge Bauer without ruling on the question noted the following language from Shields v. Valley National Bank, 56 F.R.D. 448 (N.Ariz. 1972):

    Finding that named plaintiffs could not bring a class action against defendants that did not injure them, "even though the plaintiff may have suffered an identical injury at the hands of a party other than the defendant"

    The clear trend of authority for actions alleging a violation of the Consumer Credit Protection Act, commonly known as the "Truth-in-Lending Act", 15 U.S.C. § 1601 et seq. and Regulation Z, 12 C.F.R. § 226.1 et seq., promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board, holds that class actions are inappropriate. See e. g., Goldman v. First Nat'l Bank of Chicago, 56 F.R.D. 587 (N.D.Ill., 1972); Garza v. Chicago Health Clubs, Inc., 56 F.R.D. 548 (N.D.Ill., 1972); Shields v.

    However, the application of the doctrine of stare decisis is the only possible effect of a ruling in favor of Plaintiff; however, stare decisis alone is not a reason to grant certification under Rule 23(b)(1)(B). See Bazemore v. Friday, 478 U.S. 385, 405-07 (1986); Goldman v. First Nat'l Bank of Chicago, 56 F.R.D. 587, 591 (N.D. Ill. 1972), rev'd on other grounds, 532 F.2d 10 (7th Cir. 1976). Because class members are not provided notice or an opportunity to opt out of a class certified under Rule 23(b)(1)(B), the rule is interpreted narrowly.
