Lawyer challenging B.C. COVID-19 orders says class action could result in 3 million claims
The lawyer for a group seeking to certify a class action lawsuit against B.C.’s provincial health officer for damages allegedly caused by unjustified COVID-19-related orders says the proceedings could result in as many as three million claims.
According to their notice of claim, the group believes Dr. Bonnie Henry and the province “invoked extraordinary executive powers predicated on unsubstantiated scientific and legal grounds with catastrophic consequences for British Columbians.”
