We begin with developments of national significance. First, we discuss the amendments to the Competition Act which, effective June 2025, could open the door to a novel quasi-class action scheme entitling private plaintiffs to seek financial remedies from the Competition Tribunal for certain anti-competitive conduct. Then, we reflect on the Supreme Court of Canada’s recent hearing of the appeal in Lundin Mining Corporation v Dov Markowich, the result of which may redefine the scope of “material change” under securities law, impacting the nature and frequency of securities class actions in Canada. Finally, we discuss a Supreme Court of Canada decision which paves the way for national multi-Crown class actions in Canada.
