| Alden v. Me., No. 98-436,
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, June 23, 1999, Decided
View this case - free |
|||||
Overview: Petitioner probation officers filed suit against their employer, respondent, the State of Maine, in federal court. Petitioners alleged that respondent violated the overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA),, and they sought compensation and liquidated damages. The district court dismissed petitioners' action, and the court of appeals and the state supreme court affirmed. The Court affirmed the dismissal. The Court reasoned that the powers delegated to Congress under U.S. Const. art. I did not include the power to subject nonconsenting states to private suits for damages in state courts and that respondent did not consent to suits for overtime pay and liquidated damages under the FLSA.

|||||
Overview: Petitioners were members of a massive class action lawsuit involving personal injury claims against respondent manufacturer. The trial court entered judgment certifying a mandatory settlement class on a limited fund theory under. The court of appeals affirmed. Petitioners contested the certification and on further review, the order of the court of appeals was reversed and remanded. The court held that applicants for contested certification on this rationale had to show that the fund was limited by more than the agreement of the parties, and that it had been allocated to claimants in the class by a process addressing any conflicting interests of class members. The court determined that on the facts of the case it was improper to aggregate the individual tort claims in this manner.
