Thalidomide Survivors Contribution Program Class Proceeding – October 5, 2020
October 5, 2020
As per our previous update of August 4, 2020, as a result of an appeal initiated by four class members, the implementation of the Settlement approved in May has been delayed. The class members must be granted leave by the Federal Court of Appeal to proceed with their appeals. That process to seek leave to appeal is progressing. At this time the parties have filed their motion materials (including written submissions) and await a decision by the Court. A decision is expected in the following weeks.
- The reply Memorandum of Fact and Law – Hebert et al (motion for leave to appeal) can be found here.
- The responding Memorandum of Fact and Law – Wenham (motion for leave to appeal) can be found here.
- The responding Memorandum of Fact and Law – AGC (motion for leave to appeal) can be found here.
- The moving party’s Memorandum of Fact and Law – Hebert et al (motion for leave to appeal) can be found here.
We will provide a further update when a decision has been rendered.
Until the proposed appeal by the four class members is resolved, the implementation of the terms of Settlement is on hold for all class members.
