2.5 The Latest in Environmental Class Actions and how Large Industry is Coping with Climate Change

Monday, August 18, 2:00 – 4:00

Is the class action suited for environmental matters? How does one reconcile fault and the observance of regulatory standards? How does one prove damages? Does the theory of responsibility without fault exist in Quebec law in the context of neighborhood annoyances? Join this panel for a discussion on environmental class actions.

The panel will also discuss the challenges and opportunities for large industry in the face of climate change and an increasing amount of legal and regulatory requirements. The day-to-day of a forestry giant will be exposed paving the way to a discussion on best business practices.
