Class actions are booming, and yet the same concerns and confusion remain. Problems persist with parallel and overlapping class actions, and carriage fights still occupy much of counsel’s time. Ethical and conflict issues also remain front and centre. In addition, there are developments arising in securities law, arbitration, costs and the aggregate assessment of damages that will have far reaching implications for this type of high risk, high stakes litigation.

Osgoode Professional Development’s 5th Annual Symposium on Class Actions brings clarity and practical insight to these key issues. A top notch faculty of judges, plaintiff and defence counsel and academics critically assess current trends, and will guide you through the many complexities of class action litigation.
