Can a class action be certified?

For these reasons, I find that individual actions would not be less practical or less efficient than a class proceeding, as described in s. 4(2)(d), and the policy objectives of access to justice and judicial economy would not be significantly advanced by the certification of this proposed class action. While I am mindful of the comments of Goepel J. in Barbour v. UBC, 2006 BCSC 1897 at para. 72, that pursuing individual claims for small amounts is not a realistic alternative to class proceedings, in that case the court did not find that individual issues would predominate over common issues.
