This is a joint decision from the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench, Ontario Superior Court of Justice, and Superior Court of Québec concerning the administration and termination of the national Hepatitis C class action settlement.
Class Counsel sought orders approving a third pro rata payment from the PELD Fund, payment of class counsel disbursements, approval of administrative expenses, waiving a future audit, and a declaration terminating the Settlement Agreement.
The courts approved all requests, with a minor variation regarding the termination process, and also granted relief from forfeiture to a class member for a missed payment.
