Manitoba Court Dismisses $90M Last-of-Its-Kind Wheat Pooling Class Action

In a Law360 Canada article, Lawrence Thacker discusses our summary judgment success in Dennis v Canada (Attorney General) (No 3). He explains that a party who pleads a contract must prove one exists, and that courts will not allow contract law to recast a statutory relationship as a contract.

Lenczner Slaght’s Lawrence Thacker, Brendan Morrison, Jim Lepore, Madeleine Andrew-Gee, and Catherine Blair secured summary judgment for G3 Canada Limited, formerly the Canadian Wheat Board, in Dennis v Canada (Attorney General) (No 3). The Manitoba Court of King’s Bench dismissed the class action, resolving the last remaining lawsuit arising from the end of the CWB’s single-desk monopoly.
