What is the common core question that would materially advance the claim of each class member?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Krishnan v Jamieson Laboratories Inc., 2021 BCSC 1396 (CanLII):
There is a substantial common core question that would materially advance the claim of each class member: Did the Defendant Manufacturers GS Products actually have GS in the bottles? If the answer is “no”, all four of the plaintiff’s causes of actions will be advanced. This is the “heart of the litigation”, making any concerns about the relative weight of individual issues much less troubling: Reid v. Ford Motor Company, 2003 BCSC 1632 at para. 83.
