In what circumstances will a plaintiff be able to bring a new type of claim?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Alberta (Parentage and Maintenance Act) v. R.H., 1993 ABCA 146 (CanLII):
That makes the case all the more analogous to Angus v. Hart, supra, which involved a new type of suit not previously possible. Again that would be a change in substantive law, and presumed not to operate retrospectively, still less to defeat substantive rights. In any event, that is academic, as noted.
