Wade v. Kelly

How courts have described this case

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

• noting that there were no issues of managing a class size of approximately 5,000 Navy civilian employees for premium pay claims
• stating that class members “must not have interests that are ‘antagonistic’ to one another”
• determining that “the small recoveries expected to be received … render it less likely that, without the benefit of class representation, they would be willing to incur the financial costs and hardships of separate litigations”
• noting in an overtime ease that “the small recoveries ... render it less likely” that individual actions would be brought without a class action
• allowing class certification for Navy employees even though the Government’s liability to each plaintiff differ
• certifying a class of employees when the agency had conceded in an earlier, similar case that its denial of pay to 39 similar plaintiffs may have been a data-entry error
