The number of class actions continues to rise, with many attracting national media attention. Despite the growing body of class action cases, perennial problems and questions persist surrounding national class actions, evidentiary standards for certification, as well as ethical issues and conflicts. In addition, new trends are surfacing in securities class actions and third party funding, making it more important than ever to be up-to-date.

Canada’s premier forum for class actions debate brings together leaders from both sides of the bar as well as experienced judges and academics to share and explain the strategies and tactics at play in this form of high-stakes litigation. Through lively panel discussions, they will critically examine today’s hot-button issues, and guide you through the many complexities of class actions litigation.
