What are the rules for filing a class action claim in Nova Scotia?
In Nova Scotia the rules are different from other Provinces in that we do not have legislation for Class Actions. Instead, an action has been filed in the name of one of the victims, as a representative case, on behalf of all Nova Scotians who have taken Vioxx. This initial filing of the court documents does not mean the case will go to court, but it ensures that if negotiations fail, the option of going to court is available.
