from Part I - Preparing a Path to the Stadium
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 March 2020
This chapter examines the role of government as seed-funder of a class action regime. The typical model is to establish a fund that will be self-replenishing and independent of governmental funding as the regime establishes itself and as the case law gets underway. The best-known such model is Ontario’s Class Proceedings Fund, established in 1992, and this chapter examines the law and the practicalities pertaining to that particular fund. Many valuable experiences have been obtained from over a quarter of a century of jurisprudence arising from that Fund’s operation.
