Did the corporatist court bite off more than it could chew?

With the Supreme Court essentially nixing class action lawsuits such as the case with Walmart, can it possibly backfire on those the court now serves, the corporations and also on the court system itself? Class action lawsuits are a way the court system deals with many filing suit against the same defendant thus stream lining the process and dealing with the issue in one suit. So now, will lawyers bring a million lawsuits against a corporation for what plaintiffs believe is a pattern of misconduct by all people affected by that conduct? How will lower court deal with being inundated with massive amounts of lawsuits against the same defendant?

they figure people will not want to do it because it will be harder individually than as a group. But I guess that means it will be more costly for the corporations too with all those lawyers fees. I hope it backfires.

for a discount of sorts due to use of the same material evidence and charge.

They will not mind this at all. It serves their purpose, essentially shutting off meaningful access to legal redress.

Only when the problem manifests itself will there be recognition of the Supreme Court's folly.

Say that you feel you've been aggrieved by a giant corporation. You go to a lawyer and say you want to file a suit. He says, fine, give me $10,000 to start and I'll bill you at $350 an hour, when that's gone. If you've got the money to do that, you may file a suit. Most people who work for WalMart or the 7-11 don't have that kind of money. The lawyer won't take it on contingency, unless he thinks it's a slam-dunk and the payoff will be high enough to make it worthwhile.

Even if he/she does decide to do it on a pro-bono basis, the giant corporations can drag the suit out and force him to spend an incredible amount of money, eventually leading to his dropping the suit. The tobacco industry has been doing this for years.

The goal of the corporatists for years has been to do away with class action suits. The Roberts Corporate Court just handed them a giant gift on a silver platter.

as many potential plaintiffs won't be able to afford the time or money to prosecute such cases; that was the reason for class-actions to begin with.
The Court nixed HUGE wal-mart type class actions, but smaller, more self-contained ones will continue, imo.

to get a complaint heard.

What the SCOTUS did makes the court system (even) more difficult to access for individuals without lots of money than it was before. The knock-on effect down the ladder of the court system will likely retain that same character. It will just get more and more difficult to bring suit against corporations, unless you are another corporation.
