What Is a Class Action Lawsuit?

A class action lawsuit is a legal action filed by one individual on behalf of the entire class of people who have suffered injury and/or damages. Class actions are governed by the Class Proceedings Act. It is complicated legislation that requires very experienced counsel to handle. The Class representative is protected from a costs award by obtaining coverage from the Class Proceedings Fund or a litigation loan provider.

What does a Class Action Lawsuit do?

Step-by-Step process
  • A class action suit attempts to have all similar claims against a  defendant resolved in a single proceeding with a binding result. In Ontario, the court needs to certify a class proceeding matter by determining if:
  • The facts are sufficient enough to justify the lawsuit
  • There is an identifiable class (a group of two or more people) that the lawsuit affects
  • Whether a class action lawsuit is a reasonable course of action for the resolution of the presented issues
  • Whether there is a suitable representative plaintiff (the party that the class action lawsuit is being brought against)
