How courts have described this case

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

• holding that “the district court erred in imposing a ‘cohesiveness’ requirement for the proposed Rule 23(b)(2)
• noting that under California’s choice of law rules, “a jurisdiction ordinarily has the predominant interest in regulating conduct that occurs within its borders”
• pointing to an example of an Illinois plaintiff who spent two months 11 of his six-year career in California to say that the plaintiff was entitled to the protections 12 of California overtime law for his “California work”
• “Class certification is proper only if the trial court has concluded, after a ‘rigorous analysis,’ that Rule 23(a) has been satisfied.” (citations omitted)
• “Mt. Clemens explicitly rejected the notion that allowing approximate damages in 23 such situations would be unfair due to its speculative and imprecise nature . . . .”
• multiple individualized 18 inquiries in collective action is insufficient to defeat certification because this approach 19 unduly focuses on differences between the proposed plaintiffs, rather than the similarities
