What are the elements of a plaintiff’s litigation plan for class action?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Ewert v. Canada (Attorney General), 2016 BCSC 962 (CanLII):

I have considered the defendant’s various criticisms of the plaintiff’s litigation plan and conclude that while some items may have to be amended as a result of this ruling or as the matter progresses, I am satisfied that, in a general sense, the plaintiff has a workable litigation plan. I am also satisfied that the plaintiff has the means, with the aid of his counsel, to carry the plan into effect. In coming to this conclusion I have taken into account some of the additional knowledge I gained in this matter through the carriage decision (Ewert v. Canada (Attorney General), 2014 BCSC 215), a significant focus of which was on the plaintiff’s ability prosecute the litigation and communicate with class members.
