An Oregon Court of Appeals has accepted PacifiCorp's claim that a judge in a 2023 trial mistakenly assumed evidence about wildfire damages suffered by 17 homeowners to apply to a class of thousands of other plaintiffs. The appellate judges sent the James class action back to the trial court for reconsideration. The court stated that the liability determination applied to both the 17 plaintiffs in the trial and the entire class of other Plaintiffs. Other juries have awarded more than $1 billion in damages for these cases. However, this ruling could be appealed to the state's top court.
