Mass Tort Leads in Newfoundland and Labrador

Newfoundland and Labrador's class action framework is governed by the Class Actions Act, 2001, which provides the procedural rules for certifying mass tort claims in the province. The Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador, Trial Division, hears class action proceedings. The province has participated in national class actions and has seen province-specific claims related to its unique industrial and environmental profile.

The province's resource extraction industries create distinctive mass tort exposure categories. Offshore oil and gas operations on the Grand Banks, including the Hibernia, Terra Nova, White Rose, and Hebron platforms, involve complex exposure risks including drilling chemical contact, occupational health hazards, and potential environmental contamination. The mining industry in Labrador, particularly iron ore operations in Labrador City and Wabush, creates occupational dust and chemical exposure risks. The former American military base at Goose Bay in Labrador has legacy contamination issues that have affected the surrounding community.

The Come By Chance oil refinery on Placentia Bay and historical mining operations across the island of Newfoundland contribute additional environmental exposure sites. St. John's, with approximately 215,000 residents in the metro area, provides the primary base for pharmaceutical and consumer product campaigns.
