Tyr represents plaintiffs in high-profile class actions against some of Canada’s largest corporations and other institutions. Tyr’s current class actions include the following:
A class action is a legal proceeding brought on behalf of many individuals, known as class members. A class action can avoid the necessity for hundreds, thousands or even millions of people filing similar individual lawsuits to establish liability and claim relief. This means that a single person or a small group of individuals can commence a class action on behalf of many people that have a similar claim. Class actions promote access to justice, deter misconduct by large institutions and ensure that people with similar claims are treated the same.
