From rwesthead: Judge rejects approving CHL abuse lawsuit as class action, suggests alternate path forward MORE:
CHL jerseys - The Canadian PressWarning: This story contains graphic content and language that may be upsetting to some readers.
“An abused hockey player has only individual causes of action against his own team and his own leagues… The CHL, the [Western Hockey League], [Ontario Hockey League], and [Quebec Major Junior Hockey League] and the 60 teams are separate and independent legal entities with their own governance structures and constating documents.”
If Perell had approved the case as a class action, 15,000 former and current CHL players would automatically have become plaintiffs in the case, except for those who asked to be excluded. Instead, the judge has suggested a “individual issues protocol.” Three lawyers who specialize in class actions and are not involved with the CHL case and who reviewed Perell’s ruling for TSN said the plaintiffs, defence, and Perell in coming months will likely agree on a rubric outlining prospective compensation amounts for various forms of abuse.
