Episode 67: JW v Canada Part I (Majority)


Listen Later

Our class action content continues with JW v Canada, a fascinating decision about what happens after a class action settlement has ended. Before Karly takes you through the Majority decision, Zach and Karly chat class actions, settlements, class members, and how a multiplicity of worlds can intersect with some class action litigation. 

CW: This case involves an individual who was sexually assaulted while attending Residential School. Please take care when listening.
