makes it clear that decisions relating to class certification are subject to appellate

review on a discretionary basis. This rule is slightly different from its federal counterpart because Published by the Revisor of Statutes under Minnesota Statutes, section 3C.08, subdivision 1. 59 CIVIL PROCEDURE MINNESOTA COURT RULES Minnesota has an established process for discretionary appeals of interlocutory orders, Minn. R. Civ. App. P. 105, that is not present in the federal system. This new provision does not substantially change existing Minnesota practice, as the Minnesota appellate courts have allowed discretionary appeals under Rule 105. See, e.g., Gordon v. Microsoft Corp., 645 N.W.2d 393 (Minn. 2002). The federal rule adopts a shorter ten-day deadline for seeking appellate review of decisions relating to class certification decisions. The committee believes that consistency with the requirements for other discretionary appeals in Minnesota is more important than consistency with the federal rule on this point. The other provisions of Rule 105 and the appellate rules generally apply to appeals under Rule 23.06.
