Emerging Issue – Civil Litigation, Class Action and Antitrust


In the case of Di Filippo v. Bank of Nova Scotia, 2024 ONCA 33, the Ontario Court of Appeal allowed an appeal for the plaintiff to amend their pleadings in a class actions lawsuit regarding an alleged conspiracy to fix the market for gold and silver.  The plaintiffs allege that the conspiracy took place over a number of years, thereby depriving the class from the actual value of their trades.  For more information about the appeal to amend the pleadings in this proposed class actions lawsuit, feel free to review the Law360 Canada article here.
