Québec was the first Canadian province to adopt class actions as a legal procedure, and while the other provinces have followed Québec's lead, class actions in that jurisdiction remain unique as they are governed by the tenets of civil law, not common law. This new publication, The Québec Class Action: A Roadmap, is a useful primer that will enable in-house counsel and practitioners both inside and outside of Canada to navigate Québec's complex class action system with greater confidence and ease.

Up-to-date, comprehensive content

Edited by Shaun E. Finn, an experienced commercial litigator with proven experience in the area of class actions, The Québec Class Action: A Roadmap offers its readers valuable insights and practical, real-world guidance. In particular, this text features:

  • The most current information, including recent revisions to Québec's Code of Civil Procedure and its impact on class action proceedings
  • An analysis of the substantive issues related to class actions as well as the statutory law
  • A review of the various stages of a class action, from the application for authorization, to trial, and final judgment
  • A cheat sheet and procedural roadmap to help readers navigate the class action process
  • An easy-to-follow format that makes looking up relevant rules and case law fast and easy

    An invaluable resource
