Class-action lawsuit over deadly Toronto shooting clears another legal hurdle

CP24 Toronto
The Supreme Court of Canada declined to review a ruling allowing a class-action lawsuit against a gunmaker to proceed.

Summary

The Supreme Court of Canada has declined to review a decision by Ontario's top court that allows survivors of the 2018 Danforth Avenue mass shooting to proceed with a class-action lawsuit against a gun manufacturer. The lawsuit follows a deadly shooting in Toronto that killed Reese Fallon and Julianna Kozis and injured 13 others using a stolen Smith & Wesson semi-automatic handgun.

The legal battle centers on whether the manufacturer failed to implement technology to prevent unauthorized use of their firearms. While an initial motions judge rejected the claim at the certification stage for failing to meet specific criteria, the Ontario Court of Appeal overturned that decision last year. The appellate court ruled that the original judge had set an unfairly high bar by requiring plaintiffs to essentially prove the merits of their case during the certification process.
