Toronto partner Peter Pliszka comments on the latest developments regarding opioid-related class actions across Canada in an article published in Lexpert.
He commented, notably, on the proposed class action by BC on behalf of itself and all provincial, territorial, and federal governments for recovery of healthcare costs the governments incurred in providing healthcare services to people who developed an addiction to opioids.
“This decision will be noteworthy because this is the first time that a government in Canada has attempted to initiate a class action on behalf of a class of governments,” said partner Peter Pliszka.
