DESCRIPTION
Since the Court of Appeal recognized the novel tort of intrusion upon seclusion in Jones v. Tsige, there has been a wave of class action filings across Canada focusing on alleged breaches of privacy rights. The Courts in Ontario, British Columbia and Quebec have issued a number of important class certification decisions, considering the interaction of this novel tort with existing statutory and restitutionary claims across a range of industry sectors. What are the implications of these decisions? Are privacy claims suited for collective relief? Gain critical insights into the emergence of privacy class actions in Canada, the unique issues involved, and noteworthy future developments.
