Bennett Jones in ABA Newsletter on Top Canadian Class Action Appellate Decisions

Michael Eizenga, Ranjan Agarwal and Katrina Crocker write for the American Bar Association Class Actions & Derivative Suits Committee Newsletter on seven significant class action decisions delivered by the Supreme Court of Canada and Ontario’s apex court in 2019. 

These decisions illustrate how substantive rights can be dealt with before or at the same time as certification motions—and should be interesting to class action lawyers in the United States and Canada given the expanding number of cross-border class actions in Canada.
