Advocacy group says lawsuit would seek damages on behalf of all adults in British Columbia<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lawyer for a group seeking to certify a class action lawsuit against B.C.’s provincial health officer for damages allegedly caused by unjustified\u00a0COVID-19-related orders says the proceedings could result in as many as three million claims<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polina Furtula told B.C. Supreme Court Justice David Crerar Tuesday the\u00a0Canadian Society for the Advancement of Science in Public Policy would seek\u00a0both a lump\u00a0sum to punish the province for breaching charter rights and specific amounts tailored to damages alleged by individuals<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Potentially, there would be three million individualized trials<\/q>\u00a0the judge asked<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Potentially,<\/q>\u00a0Furtula respondedBut of course, that doesn’t mean there would have to be actual trials. There’s ways that this can be achieved that are practical<\/q><\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Punishing a whole group’<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The exchange came on the second day of a week-long proceeding in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver to determine the future of the proposed class action lawsuit<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CSASPP’s website says\u00a0the group is a\u00a0non-profit, non-partisan, secular, crowd-funded, and volunteer-driven organization that was created in response to popular community demand for a direct action initiative to counter B.C.’s COVID-19 related measures<\/q><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to their notice of claim, the group believes Dr. Bonnie Henry and the province\u00a0invoked extraordinary executive powers predicated on unsubstantiated scientific and legal grounds with catastrophic consequences for British Columbians<\/q><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The [Public Health Act]\u00a0orders do not discriminate between the sick and the healthy, collectively punishing a whole group,<\/q>\u00a0the claim reads<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reality is that either all or some of the ministerial orders were not necessary to ‘prevent, respond or alleviate’ the effects of COVID-19 to the population of British Columbia<\/q><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposed claim says the measures violated a variety of rights guaranteed to Canadians under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CSASPP is seeking certification of a\u00a0class action lawsuit on behalf of all adults\u00a0residing or doing business in the\u00a0province who have suffered injury or\u00a0damages as a result of public health orders issued after March 17, 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Angry, depressed, lonely and isolated’<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The hearing was well attended by supporters of the CSASPP\u00a0\u2014 which put a call on its website for people to\u00a0join us at this historic public hearing<\/q><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If certified, Furtula said the suit would have three subclasses:\u00a0328,000 people who saw\u00a0medical procedures\u00a0delayed or cancelled, 376,752 people who were not double-vaccinated and did not get exemptions and\u00a037,000 people who weren’t\u00a0vaccinated for religious reasons<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lawyer read portions from a number of affidavits that spoke to the wide range of complaints from people hoping to be part of the lawsuit<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In one, a single mother who was diagnosed with lung cancer during the pandemic complained that she was unable to get a second dose of vaccine in the 21-day period recommended by the manufacturer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In another, the mother of a child whose classmate tested positive for COVID-19 was upset that her family was told to quarantine despite the fact they all tested negative for the virus<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in another, the\u00a0angry, depressed, lonely and isolated<\/q>\u00a0head of a technology company\u00a0said he was shunned because he was unvaccinated and unmasked \u2014\u00a0unable to participate in group activities or meet potential romantic partners<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘There has to be a coherent plan’<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Crerar\u00a0doesn’t have to decide the merits of the case, but he\u00a0has to determine if the lawsuit meets the requirements needed for a class action\u00a0\u2014 which include\u00a0common issues, an identifiable class of people\u00a0and an appropriate person to represent the class<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The judge also has to decide whether a class action lawsuit is the proper way to resolve the dispute<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the terms of B.C. health orders, anyone who wanted access to a range of non-essential indoor services had to show proof of vaccination. A group is now seeking to certify a class action lawsuit against the province in relation to those measures.PHOTO: GOV.BC.CA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In his exchange with Furtula, he pointed out how varied the possible claims are \u2014 ranging from\u00a0people who were upset they couldn’t get vaccinated fast enough to\u00a0people who didn’t want to get vaccinated at all<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He asked the lawyer for other examples of class action lawsuits which have been brought about based on alleged charter breaches or in relation to COVID restrictions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furtula pointed to a lawsuit in the United States where members of the military are challenging mandatory vaccination<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While helpful, the judge said that proceeding was an example of a single-issue complaint where everyone is\u00a0rowing in the same direction<\/q><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I get your point, that you’re saying these orders are no good, they’re imprecise, they’re not tailored, they’re irrational, they’re not consistent,<\/q>\u00a0he told Fortula<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But in terms of implementing how the trial is going to unfold,\u00a0and how if you’re successful at trial, damages are going to be awarded, et cetera, there has to be a coherent plan for the logistics of that and addressing potential internal contradictions<\/q><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Crown will make its case later this week<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a response filed with the court, the government denies the claim, saying\u00a0the health orders were made in accordance with\u00a0national and international surveillance data<\/q>\u00a0as well as\u00a0local, national and international epidemiological data<\/q><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The overriding concern is to ensure that [Public Health Act]\u00a0orders and other public health guidance protect the most vulnerable members of the society while minimizing social disruption,<\/q>\u00a0the response says<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The province says the\u00a0CSASPP has failed to meet the requirements to certify a class action lawsuit on all fronts\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the Crown also says that any breaches of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms are allowed under Section 1 of the Charter, which allows governments to put limits on rights and freedoms so long as those limits\u00a0can be shown to be reasonable in a free and democratic society<\/p>\n\n\n\n
