Is there any case law that supports a plaintiff’s ability to bring a systemic claim against the Attorney General?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Single Mothers’ Alliance of BC Society v British Columbia, 2019 BCSC 1427 (CanLII):
In Downtown Eastside Sex Workers United Against Violence Society v. Canada (Attorney General), 2010 BCCA 439, the majority found that the availability of other means to bring a claim is not determinative of the reasonableness or effectiveness of a systemic claim. The ability of an individual to bring a systemic challenge and the likelihood of doing so are thus relevant considerations, even apart from a formal challenge to a plaintiff’s standing.
