The plaintiffs brought a motion to certify a class action arising from an airline accident involving a flight operated by Fly Jamaica Airways and an aircraft manufactured by Boeing.
The court found that the criteria under section 5 of the Class Proceedings Act were met, including the 'some basis in fact' standard, and certified the action on consent.
The court also granted the plaintiffs' unopposed requests to amend their pleadings to name the pilots and ordered the airline to disclose the passenger list to facilitate notice to the class.
