Branch MacMaster has been involved in class action litigation since its British Columbia inception. Our founding partners Ward Branch (now a justice of the BC Supreme Court and the author of the leading textbook Class Actions in Canada) and Jim MacMaster (retired) were counsel in four of the first seven class actions considered by British Columbia’s courts. Since then, our lawyers have consistently acted for plaintiffs and defendants in more than one hundred class actions involving many different subject matters, including contaminated products, consumer protection, price-fixing, statutory interpretation, breach of Charter, breach of copyright, privacy and data use and more recently, class actions arising from the Covid-19 pandemic.
