Class Actions
We are one of Canada’s go-to firms for class actions. Being the first firm to certify and the first firm to settle a class action in Ontario under the 1992 Class Proceedings Act, we have a well-recognized track record in the area of class actions as well as mass torts and products liability law.
Our seasoned litigators represent plaintiffs and defendants. Some of our high-profile class actions include;
- Health: breast implants, TMJ implants, diet drugs, and e-coli tainted water
- Business: securities, vanishing premium insurance products, improper mortgage penalties, investment schemes, oil refinery emissions
- Consumer: plastic venting for mid-efficiency furnaces, fireplace design, improper pricing of consumer products
- Price-fixing: unlawful conspiracies to fix prices or otherwise hinder competition
We are the primary authors of “Class Action Law and Practice”, a Butterworths publication and the leading Canadian text on the subject as well as frequent speakers on this topic at all kinds of industry and professional conferences.
