CLASS ACTIONS
Once very rare in Canada, litigation by mass plaintiffs is becoming increasingly common
(particularly in areas such as products liability and securities). The court rules of the provinces
and federal courts dictate the ways and means by which multiple litigants can launch class
action lawsuits in their jurisdictions. Related topics: CIVIL PROCEDURE, NEGLIGENCE,
NUISANCE, PRODUCTS LIABILITY, SECURITIES, TORTS.
RECOURS COLLECTIF
Cette PROCÉDURE CIVILE, inscrite au Code de procédure civile, permet d’intenter un recours au
nom d’un groupe de personnes. Voir aussi : CONSOMMATEUR et RESPONSABILITÉ CIVILE.
