R-2.2.0.0.01 - Opioid-related Damages and Health Care Costs Recovery Act
Section 30
Disposition versions
30. Despite article 571 of the Code of Civil Procedure (chapter C-25.01), the Government may exercise its right of recovery under this Act in the context of a class action regarding which the Government acts as plaintiff before a court of Québec or as a member of a class on behalf of which such an action is exercised elsewhere in Canada. Such actions are governed by the substantive rules set out in this Act.
The class represented by the Government or of which it is a member may only consist of the Government of Canada, federal bodies and governments or bodies of other provinces or territories that cover opioid-related health care costs within the meaning of this Act.
This section does not prevent a member of the class on behalf of which the Government intends to act from opting out of the class by informing the court clerk of its decision, as provided for in article 580 of the Code of Civil Procedure. A member who wishes to opt out of the class must also inform the Attorney General of Québec.
