On June 12, 2006, BARRY SPALDING filed a class action in New Brunswick against GENERAL MOTORS OF CANADA and GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION pertaining to the degradation of intake manifold gaskets.
A class action is a lawsuit in which the claims of many people who have common but not identical interests are decided in a single court proceeding brought by one or more plaintiffs who act as representatives of the class. A class action avoids multiple individual lawsuits, allows the court to resolve the claims in a reasonable, efficient and cost-effective way, increases access to justice by eliminating economic barriers which prevent people from pursuing litigation, and ensures that people with similar claims are treated similarly.
BARRY SPALDING is working with a national team of lawyers from other provinces led by Colin Stevenson of Stevensons LLP in Toronto, Ontario who hope to have carriage of the action nationally.
