Bolden v. Walsh Construction Co.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• rejecting aggregate data because it did not necessarily imply that “all 25 superintendents behaved similarly, so it would not demonstrate commonality”
• affirming the decertifi-cation of a class where the plaintiffs challenged a series of individual employers’ decisions but failed to identify a company-wide policy
• reversing class certification where, as in Wal-Mart, alleged discrimination resulted from acts of individual supervisors exercising independent discretion
• denying class certification where plaintiffs alleged racial discrimination on the part of their supervisors, in part because their statistical analysis was rudimentary
• affirming the decertification of a class where the plaintiffs Nos. 14‐3753 & 15‐1616 19 challenged a series of individual employers’ decisions but failed to identify a company‐wide policy
• denying class certification but suggesting that smaller subclasses might be certifiable
