Summary

Case summaries are prepared by the Office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court of Canada (Law Branch). Please note that summaries are not provided to the Judges of the Court. They are placed on the Court file and website for information purposes only.

For a period of three and a half years ending in August of 2001, the Applicant distributed its statin drug in Canada, used to combat high cholesterol. Those patients who are alleged to have experienced serious side effects sought to have a class action certified with the named Respondents as representative plaintiffs. The Applicant opposed the certification. The case management judge granted the order for certification, but stayed its effect pending the outcome of a settlement motion in the Ontario court. Leave to appeal this decision was refused by the Court of Appeal.
