- Can class actions provide an appropriate remedy for institutional abuse?
- If government programs have been improperly administered should recourse be to the Courts, or Parliament, or both?
- Is our class actions regime properly structured to adjudicate mass torts, or does it require amending?
- What ethical issues arise on the plaintiff and defence side when litigating institutional abuse and other historic claims?
- What are the current and future trends in class actions against the Crown?
