2007
FEB-2007 Before a lawsuit can be considered a class action, the Plaintiff has to apply to have it "certified" by the court. The certification hearing in this case will not take place until the case management judge, Madam Justice Gropper, has heard a "jurisdiction application" filed by all of the American Defendants. The American Wyeth companies have filed documents with the Supreme Court of British Columbia requesting a stay of this action against them on the grounds that the court has no jurisdiction over them. The date for the hearing of the jurisdiction application is not yet known.

I found the Klein Lyons website extremely helpful and informative, especially the FAQs. I am grateful and appreciative to have someone in my corner. Receiving the claim package yesterday gave me the mental strength to carry on. You have no idea how good it felt to know that my claim had been accepted.
