Class counsel brought a motion to quash appeals filed by the defendants and intervenors from an order approving class counsel fees under s. 32 of the Class Proceedings Act, 1992.
The Court of Appeal held that the appellants had no standing to appeal because they were not parties to the fee agreements, the settlement agreement did not reserve their rights to participate in fixing fees, and their rights were not affected by the fee approval order.
The appeals were quashed.
