Do you practice at least in part in class actions? If so, you will find below an invitation from Jérémy Boulanger-Bonnelly, professor at McGill University’s Faculty of Law, to participate in a survey on class actions.

The survey aims to document the perspectives of legal professionals working in class actions regarding current issues in that field, the desirability of reforming applicable legislative frameworks, and some potential reforms.

This study, which is entirely independent of The Law Society of Manitoba, is conducted in partnership with the Quebec Institute for Law and Justice Reform and the Uniform Law Conference of Canada. To be eligible, you must be a legal professional whose practice is at least partially focused on class actions.

You can complete the survey online until February 20, 2025. It shouldn’t take more than 15 minutes. The survey is anonymous. The questions will focus on your background and experience, and your views on five aspects of class actions. Collecting this information is crucial for the legal community and society at large, and will serve to inform and guide future reform projects.

If you are interested in participating in this study, please review the consent form explaining the project’s purpose, the procedure for collecting, storing and publishing research results, and the measures to protect your confidentiality. Before starting the survey, read the consent form carefully. By clicking on “I consent” to access the questionnaire, you consent to participate in the study. The consent form and survey are available in both English and French.

Closing Date: February 20, 2025
