Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Welsh v. Ontario, 2018 ONSC 3217 (CanLII):
Third, in attempting to justify the proposed settlement, Class Counsel extolled the virtues of the Plan of Distribution, which was adopted from the Seed v. Ontario case. My own analysis, however, is that there was little to extoll in this Plan of Distribution. The heads of compensatory damage were limited, the compensation was capped, the compensation was not generous, there was a prospect of a reversion to Ontario, and the Plan of distribution envisioned that 90% of the Student Class and 100% of the Family Class would get no compensation, no apology, nor anything at all even indirectly for releasing their claims against Ontario.
