The commencement of a class action in the United States frequently results in “copycat” actions in Canada and other jurisdictions. These opportunities are often bought and sold by class counsel looking to leverage their US investment, but the strategies for managing US class actions are not always the right ones in other countries. An experienced panel of US and other counsel will look at key class action management issues from inception, through to certification and ultimate disposition, and discuss different strategies that may be dictated by the law and legal culture of other jurisdictions. Attendees will take away a better understanding of how different jurisdictions demand different class action management strategies notwithstanding that the underlying claims may be the same.
