Brian Radnoff Quoted in Advocate Daily Article Discussing Recent Altered Class-Settlement Provision

Brian Radnoff (Partner, Toronto) was recently quoted in an Advocate Daily article titled “OCA decision finds judge altered class-settlement provision.” The article examines a recent decision by the Ontario Court of Appeal which found that a motion judge had made an error in ordering plaintiffs’ counsel to donate $1.5 million of their fees to charity. Brian argues that the decision highlights the perils of being a plaintiff-side class-action lawyer.

“There is so much in this province written about the compensation of class counsel, and a fair amount of it is somewhat negative,” Brian told the publication. “You have to remember that bringing a class action is entrepreneurial — but it’s also risky.”
