The original Class Action, which ultimately lead to the National Settlement, was filed with the Ontario Superior Court. It was the Ontario Superior Court that found the Government of Canada liable for harms. Through settlement agreement discussions between the Ontario lead plaintiff and the Government of Canada, as well as with counsel representing Sixties Scoop Survivors across the country, it was determined that the definition of “Eligible Class Member” should be broadened to include those beyond what was defined in the Ontario case. The Federal Court presides over decisions that impact Class Members who are included in that broader group.
