Does the Conseil Scolaire need to consider making the parents plaintiffs in the broader action?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from L’Association des parents de l’école Rose-des-Vents v. Conseil scolaire francophone de la Colombie-Britannique, 2011 BCSC 89 (CanLII):

Further, some consideration must be given to the potential cost and inconvenience to the Parents of making them plaintiffs in the Conseil Scolaire’s much broader action: Beazley v. Insurance Corp. of British Columbia, 2004 BCSC 1091.

A petition will come on for hearing sooner than a trial might. This is a factor to be weighed particularly heavily in determining whether proceedings should be consolidated. The courts have and will take notice of the risk of assimilation and the irreparable harm caused by delay in affording protection to Charter rights: Doucet-Boudreau v. Nova Scotia (Minister of Education), 2003 SCC 62.
