The Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal by Walmart in a case involving a $187 million class-action judgment against the retailer over its treatment of workers in Pennsylvania.
Walmart had argued that the formula used to determine the penalty was unfair.
The justices denied the petition Monday, meaning the lower court's ruling will stand and Walmart will have to pay the penalty.
"We are disappointed the Supreme Court decided not to review our case. While we continue to believe these claims should not be bundled together in a class-action lawsuit, we respect the court's decision. We will now determine how we move forward in the trial court," said Walmart spokesman Randy Hargrove.
