Disabled Veterans Class Action Lawsuit
WINDSOR, ON, Dec. 30 /CNW/ - In the six years since the lawsuit was
commenced, there have been several key developments including a ruling by the
Supreme Court of Canada in July 2003 upholding the supremacy of Parliament and
its power to unilaterally limit its indebtedness to the disabled veterans.
*******************************
The Ontario Superior Court of Justice ruled in December 2003 that, despite the
Supreme Court's ruling, the case had not been brought to an end and could
continue with the next vital step - determining the extent of the government's legal liability.
*******************************

Also in that ruling, the case management judge Justice John H.
Brockenshire ruled that the government's liability - because of its failure to
properly act as a trustee of the veterans' funds over an 85 year period -
appeared likely to exceed, "and very substantially exceed" $1 billion.
In September 2004, the lawyers for the veterans and the government met in
court to argue the method of calculating the veterans' damages. In his
December 2004 ruling, Justice Brockenshire decided that the damages hearing
should proceed on the basis of the veterans' preferred approach - as opposed
to the government's - applying the full benefit of hindsight to all
calculations.
The basis for the veterans' lawyers position as regards the calculation
of damages included studies prepared by former federal government economist
Michael Charette, now a professor at the University of Windsor. The studies
undertook a historical review of various rates of return as applied to a
variety of investment instruments. They did so in the context of standard
trustee practice over the last 85 years, the period covered by the lawsuit.
