Defending Class Actions in Canada, 3rd Edition is Canada’s top resource for enterprises exposed in any way to potential or actual class actions and for the lawyers who represent them.

Any company doing business in Canada will encounter growing enthusiasm for class actions among plaintiffs’ lawyers and the courts. This book outlines the procedural machinery of Canadian class actions and the law that governs them, provides strategic analysis on managing the risks they entail, and explains the most important recent developments and trends on a national and international scale.

The greatest strength of the book derives from its authorship by seasoned class action defence lawyers at McCarthy Tétrault, who practise as members of a national class actions defence practice group, often engaged together and with counsel in the United States and abroad in the defence of parallel actions involving similar allegations brought against the same entity in multiple separate jurisdictions.

Topics covered:

• Increased Accessibility of Class Proceedings
• Current Trends in Certification Standards
• The Evolution of Pre-Certification Defence Strategies
• State of Play for Multi-Jurisdictional Cases and the National Class
• What's New in Securities, Competition, and Product Liability Class Actions

Ahmaud Arbery and tragedy in Brunswick, Georgia.

Coastal Georgia’s Perfect Storm

Hurricane season is especially busy in coastal Georgia. As a native of Brunswick, Georgia, I remember evacuating the city on several occasions with my family growing up.

Like the rest of America, they were quarantined. But they became increasingly unsettled at stories of a young black man reportedly getting chased down and shot in his own neighborhood while jogging down the street. Little did Brunswick residents know, they were tracking the perfect storm.

The Fatal Run

Jogging isn’t supposed to get you killed. On February 23rd, Ahmaud Arbery became a heartbreaking, fatal exception as he jogged through his own neighborhood. Ahmaud Arbery was gunned down on a street intended to be a safe space for him. As he ran through the neighborhood that morning, he likely never thought he’d be fighting for his life in broad daylight.

The First Narrative

As a lawyer with close ties to Brunswick, I wanted to help. My brother, who coached Arbery in high school, reached out to me about the shooting and inquired about next steps.

And what we started to discover was troubling.

For starters, initial news reports highlighted Arbery’s past (unrelated) felony convictions, while subjectively reporting the facts covered in the incident report.

What if Martha Stewart, another felon, suffered the same fate? Would the story also discuss her record at ...
