Section 594 Disposition versions

2016-01-01

594. When an application for the homologation of a transaction or the recognition of a judgment in a foreign class action is made to the court, the court makes sure that the rules of the Civil Code that apply to the recognition and enforcement of foreign decisions have been complied with and that the notices given in Québec in connection with the class action were sufficient.

As well, the court is required to make sure that the requirements that governed the exercise of the rights of Québec residents are equivalent to those imposed in class actions brought before a Québec court, that Québec residents may exercise their rights in Québec in accordance with the rules applicable in Québec and that, in the case of collective recovery of claims, the remittance of any remaining balance to a third person will be decided by it insofar as the Québec residents’ share is concerned.
