LATEST LEGAL NEWS
ADJOURNMENT OF CERTIFICATION MOTION
The parties attended before Madam Justice Ellen Macdonald on February 21, 2006 for the plaintiffs' motion to certify the action as a class proceeding, as well a motion by the defendant to strike certain portions of the statement of claim. On consent of the parties, the Court adjourned the motions to June 15, 2006, to provide time for the parties to explore a resolution to the litigation.
Canada Life has undertaken to provide our counsel with a comprehensive proposal to resolve the current dispute on or before May 31, 2006. Any discussions that take place between the parties will be strictly confidential. It is expected that an update will be available to all members on or after June 15, 2006.
To learn more about the legal proceedings, please visit the websites of our counsel by clicking on the links below, where you may access a summary of the claim and the court-filed statement of claim.
