2 WE WISH TO THANK OUR SPONSORS
3 Class actions, referred to from now on in the New Code of Civil Procedure as a "Special procedural route", are subject to constant case law developments. This 2-day conference is for lawyers who want to become more familiar with this field of practice and perfect their knowledge in order to be up to date on current trends in Quebec, elsewhere in Canada and in the U.S. As in past years, guest speakers representing both plaintiffs and defendants will present their analysis of recent jurisprudence in class actions and a panel of judges from Superior and Appeal Courts from various Canadian provinces will present their respective views of class action management and case law trends. Lawyers involved in the disputes relating to the Marcotte and Sibiga cases will comment on the decisions which deal, in particular, with the problem of multiple defendants and common issues. A panel of practising lawyers from various jurisdictions will turn their attention to the questions and challenges raised in multijurisdictional and cross-border class actions. There will also be a discussion on abuse of process and the particular difficulties that such situations raise in class actions. Developments in environmental class actions will also be discussed, particularly in relation to article 976 C.C.Q. Also on the program: the necessary report on the first anniversary of the coming into force of the New Code of Civil Procedure and its class action provisions. A round-table discussion will follow about settlements and transactions, and another one on best practices for communications with class members and the recommended solutions and initiatives to efficiently and effectively reach them. To close the conference, a few lawyers involved in the Lac Mégantic case will provide an update on the developments in that class action and what should be retained from it all. In addition, at the conference lunch on Friday, our guest speaker Kenneth Feinberg, who was entrusted with the responsibility of setting up and managing the September 11 th Victim Compensation Fund, and who wrote the book entitled What is Life Worth, will talk to us about the compensation program for victims of September 11, DAY 1: Thursday, March 23, :30 a.m.: WELCOME AND INTRODUCTION Jean Saint-Onge, Ad.

Sharon Matthews will look at why that has been the case historically, the changing tide in provinces that have enacted legislation to address overlapping multi-jurisdictional issues, and make an argument as to why such an approach can and should be utilized elsewhere. Sharon Matthews, Q.C., Camp Fiorante Matthews Mogerman, Vancouver, BC Try and Try Again : Abuse of Process in Multi-Jurisdictional Class Actions : Courts and defendants have been faced increasingly with duplicate or overlapping class actions commenced in different provinces. The doctrine of abuse of process can be an effective tool to stay duplicative class actions, where appropriate.
