Settlement proposed in class-action lawsuit over B.C. solitary confinement
A proposed settlement of up to $60 million has been reached in a class-action lawsuit related to the use of solitary confinement in B.C. correctional facilities. The Quebec-based law firm Proactio says the settlement still needs to be approved by the B.C. Supreme Court, but could provide eligible class members up to $91,000. A statement from the firm on Saturday said the lawsuit alleges the B.C. government improperly subjected prisoners to solitary confinement, "causing emotional, physical, and psychological harm." It further states that the province "denies liability but has opted to resolve the class action without a trial." The class includes people incarcerated after April 18, 2005, and involuntarily held in separate confinement or segregation for at least 15 consecutive days, or when the province knew or ought to have known they suffered from a mental illness. The allegations in the statement of claim have not been tested in court and B.C.'s Ministry of Attorney General did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A hearing to decide whether to approve the proposed settlement has been set for Oct. 22 and Proactio said class members have until Sept. 2 to indicate if they support or object to the proposal. Those put in separate confinement after Dec. 22, 2020, can opt out by Sept. 2, in which case they would not receive compensation but would retain their right to pursue an individual lawsuit. The firm said class members can also submit a claim for compensation at a later date if the court approves the settlement. The court has appointed Koskie Minsky LLP and McEwan Partners LLP as class council, while Proactio has been mandated to act as administrator of the class action, the statement added.
