Canada: Securities Class Actions Remain Strong in 2009

By Amanda Harding on February 18, 2010, 2:56 pm

A recent study by NERA shows that securities class action filings in Canada for 2009 remained above historical average filings. NERA states that while securities class action litigation is still in its infancy in Canada, its maturation continued during 2009.

Eight securities class actions were filed in 2009, the second-most ever. 2008 had the most filings, with 10.

Some of the most notable cases in 2009 involved the decisions of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, which certified three class actions suits. Additionally, in the IMAX case, that court issued its first ruling on an application to proceed with claims under new secondary market liability provisions, according to the study.
