OBA Class Actions Law PROGRAM | Original Program Date: April 28, 2022

The case law on aggregate damages is complex and evolving. Ensure you are up to speed on the latest developments with this valuable program. Join our expert faculty to take a “deep dive” into how courts are remediating class action liability as we unravel key issues including:

• When are aggregate damages available? Is a consistent approach to certifying aggregate damages as a common issue being followed in Ontario?
• Recent guidance from the courts on assessing and quantifying aggregate damages fairly and efficiently
• The role of experts – at certification and the common issues trial – and the scope for use of statistics and sampling
• When individual issue trials may still be required where aggregate damages are awarded
