The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Walmart in Wal-Mart v. Dukes. To rationalize this, the majority attempted to claim that because the number of people represented by the class-action suit was so large, they just can not all have commonality. They contended that the represented group in class action suits requires a common problem and a common solution. Dukes signified women who were protesting Walmart’s sexism culture, but not any marginalization written into their rules or caused by a single person. Individuals also did not all have the same sexist problem. The majority argued that because they did not all share the same problem, they could not solve their problem with a single broad solution. The Supreme Court ruled that 1.5 million females could not be authorized as a proper class of plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit alleging workplace bias against Wal-Mart. It warranted its own decision by citing similarities. The commonality is described as the common people.  As a result, the Supreme Court ruled that the defendants did not share enough commonalities to constitute and establish a class.
