What is the test for an application before the Master of the Superior Court of Justice for wrongful sterilization?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Jeerh v. Yorkton Securities Inc., 2004 ABQB 975 (CanLII):
The Appellant also argues that the application before the Master was premature and cites in support the decision in Lytton v. Alberta [1996] A.J. No. 895 which held that the application was premature because discoveries had not yet taken place, following which there would be a narrowing or better defining of the issues. Lytton involved 76 named plaintiffs and 200 yet-to-be named plaintiffs all proceeding against Alberta in claims for wrongful sterilization in a provincial institution, wrongful confinement, and a long list of other claims alleged to have occurred over several decades.
