Designed to offer an overview of class actions in Canada, this five-part video series provides a short introduction to Canadian class proceedings, focusing on strategic moments in class action procedure and comparisons to the U.S. experience. Each episode takes viewers through a major phase of class action litigation, starting with the procedural “maze” created by multijurisdictional class actions and ending with the “hard fought end” of settlement or trial.
Watch episode 1 : The Multijurisdictional Maze
Most class actions in Canada have a multijurisdictional or national component. Unlike the U.S., however, Canada does not have a federal court system of generalized jurisdiction to coordinate such proceedings. In our first episode, we explain what is needed for defendants to succeed when navigating this “multijurisdictional maze”.
