Spanish translation:no sujeto a defensa original diferenciada del resto
Explanation:
El original se refiere a esta idea:
(...) no unique defenses exist that would otherwise preclude typicality


In short, the Court finds that Lead Plaintiffs and the putative class share a common legal theory, based on Defendants' material omissions. Additionally, no unique defenses exist that would otherwise preclude typicality. As such, the Court is satisfied that Lead Plaintiffs have fulfilled Rule 23(a)(3)'s typicality requirement.

Donde el concepto de typicality resulta particularmente revelador;

The typicality criterion focuses on whether there exists a relationship between the plaintiff’s claims and the claims alleged on behalf of the class.

Reference: What is a unique defense?

Reference information:
Named Plaintiff Subject To Unique Defense Is Not Adequate Class Representatives
In CE Design Ltd. v. King Architectural Metals, Inc., No. 10-8050, 2011 WL 938900 (7th Cir. Mar. 18, 2011), the Seventh Circuit addressed a complaint brought under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by a company that, “unusually for a business firm, is an avid class-action plaintiff,” having filed at least 150 TCPA class actions. The Seventh Circuit vacated class certification, finding a plaintiff cannot be an adequate class representative if it is subject to a defense that would not defeat the claims of unnamed class members. Here, CE Design had agreed to the publication of its fax number in a business directory that could be deemed to constitute consent to the receipt of faxes. Under the TCPA, consent is a defense to a TCPA claim. Thus, the court remanded the matter to the district court to address whether the fact that the named class representative’s claim was significantly weaker than claims of other class members justified the denial of certification.

So "not subject to unique defenses" means that the class representative's claims could not be countered using a defense (excepción) that does not apply to the other class members.

There's probably a number of ways to translate it, but it needs an explanatory approach, I think.
