Gulf Oil Corp. v. Mobile Drilling Barge

How courts have described this case

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

• defendants introduced employment records that listed reasons why each employee was discharged to rebut plaintiffs' classwide prima facie case
• “Typicality is not defeated because of the varied promotional opportunities at issue, or the differing qualifications of the plaintiffs and the class members”
• defendant could not claim prejudice where it acquiesced to delay of certification decision until after trial and thus could not rely on untimeliness to defeat the certification of a class on that basis
