ABSTRACT
The enactment of class proceedings legislation revolutionized civil procedure in Ontario by providing citizens with a mechanism that both increased access to justice and served as a powerful deterrent against wrongdoing. Suzanne Chiodo’s book, The Class Actions Controversy: The Origins and Development of the Ontario Class Proceedings Act, provides an in-depth exploration of the history of the legislation and the social and political forces that influenced it.
