Class Action Lawsuits:
- Ches Crosbie interviewed by National Post
Description: Ches Crosbie interviewed by National Post's Daryl-Lynn Carlson on March 15, 2010 on the best jurisdiction in Caanda to launch a class action suit - Acreman v. MUN Certification Decision [PDF]
Description: Acreman v. MUN is a pension case granting certification in January 2010. It is a workmanlike effort which builds on jurisprudence which we have contributed to, including Rideout, Doucette and Wheadon. - Healthcare Class Actions: Bad Doctor or Bad System? [PDF]
- Mass Torts and Class Actions: Separating the Wheat from the Chaff [PDF]
Description: Mass torts and class actions have in common a numerosity of victims. The wrongdoer may be one or several. The wrong may be a single event, such as a train wreck, or a creeping wrong, such as a lung disease caused by asbestos or tobacco. Class actions are a legislative response (and after Western Shopping Centres, a judicial response) to the challenge of providing procedural solutions to the problems presented by numerosity of claims. - Newfoundland and Labrador: Class Action Experience [PDF]
Description: This paper is prepared for the panel topic “National Update on Class Actions”, part of the Canadian Institute’s 2004 Forum on “Litigating Class Actions”. The paper will give some background on the origins of the Newfoundland and Labrador Class Actions Act, SNL 2001 C-18.1, contrast it with the legislation of other major jurisdictions, review the early jurisprudence, and offer comment on the risk posed by overlapping class actions being launched in multiple jurisdictions – a risk which affected the first Newfoundland case to achieve certification.
