Ontario Superior Court Limits Damages Claims in Certifying Personal Injury Medical Device Class Action
In this blog, the Ontario Superior Court reaffirmed the limits on recoverable damages in class actions, particularly where claims extend beyond actual loss. Applying recent appellate guidance on pure economic loss, the Court restricted claims for damages that were speculative or not tied to manifested harm, emphasizing that recovery is generally limited to losses arising from actual damage or imminent risk—not hypothetical or future harm.
