The Canadian Institute's

Class Actions Litigation Bootcamp

Strategies for sound pre and post-certification procedure

Wednesday, April 18 to Thursday, April 19, 2012
Marriott Bloor Yorkville, Toronto, Ontario

With the trend toward lowered thresholds for certification, and settlement of class actions no longer a certainty, how are you preparing for successful management of an increased workload in class claims?

The Canadian Institute's Class Actions Litigation Bootcamp will be held in Toronto this spring. The course is designed for both plaintiff and defence-side associates and lawyers new to the area of class actions, as a truly in-depth and practical forum on class actions litigation procedure. Train with leading Canadian class counsel as they provide you with advice on how to address the challenges inherent in class claims starting from the pre-claim process, leading up to and beyond the certification stage, with a comprehensive examination of the critical certification motion process.

Build and enhance your class actions litigation toolkit, through practical topics including:

  • Evaluating evidentiary indicators for claim viability on the facts and on the law: What constitutes a common issue?
  • Weighing considerations in choosing an appropriate representative plaintiff
  • Understanding the implications of Pennyfeather v Timminco, requiring delivery of full and complete pleadings prior to certification
  • Managing the expectations of your case management judge in a class claim
  • Working through a solid precedent motion record for guidance on compiling the best possible documentation, with a focus on the supplementary materials
  • Key considerations to opposing certification in increasingly class action friendly jurisdictions
  • Leveraging advancing technology to track and manage a voluminous post-certification evidentiary record
