A hearing was held last week in British Columbia to obtain court approval for a class-action lawsuit against the province and chief public health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry.
A court has to certify the proposed class-action lawsuit, brought by the Canadian Society for the Advancement of Science in Public Policy (CSASPP), a B.C. not-for-profit organization before it can proceed. The legal action is being funded by ongoing donations and the individuals working with the society are volunteers.
