- The Supreme Court ruled that they could not certify the class action lawsuit against Walmart which was in large part due to the lack of commonality within the case. Commonality is the core fundamental detail that was missing in a class action suit. They believed that there was no certain provision or policy that was put into place by Walmart that directly connected to every claim . Because it was a class action lawsuit, the claim of discrimination had to directly impact every women in Walmart, and additionally, that the solution must be the same for each individual problem. Because that wasn’t the case, there was no commonality that existed in the case, leading to the lawsuit falling through.
