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.
The respondent, Philippe Léveillé, was appointed as representative plaintiff for the purpose of instituting a class action on behalf of a class described as [TRANSLATION] “all persons who paid money on being billed more than the cost price for medication or anesthetic fees incidental to an insured service provided by a physician, optometrist or private clinic remunerated by the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ)” for a period of six years, from May 2011 to January 2017 (judgment authorizing the class action, 2017 QCCS 3762, affirmed by the Quebec Court of Appeal, 2018 QCCA 819). Mr. Léveillé is seeking reimbursement, from the medical professions that are the subject of his class action, for the billed incidental fees that exceed the actual cost of the medication and anesthetics provided in the course of services insured by the RAMQ through the Health Insurance Act, CQLR, c. A 29 (HIA).
After the class action was authorized, the Attorney General of Quebec (AGQ), the applicant in the first leave application and an intervener in the second, and the RAMQ, an intervener, filed applications for declinatory exception, relying on s. 14 of the Act respecting administrative justice, CQLR, c. J 3 (AAJ), and ss. 14 and 22.0.1 of the HIA to challenge the Superior Court’s jurisdiction. They argued that the class action was within the exclusive jurisdiction of the RAMQ and the Administrative Tribunal of Québec (ATQ) instead. Groupe Vision New Look inc., the applicant in the second leave application and an intervener in the first, filed, among other things, an application for declinatory exception. The Superior Court dismissed all the applications for declinatory exception. The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeals brought by the AGQ and Groupe Vision New Look and allowed the RAMQ’s appeal.
