We write to provide you with a further update to our April update. As mentioned in our last update, the national class action is scheduled to be in court for a certification motion in October 2022. A partial certification hearing was held in March 2022. For your information, a certification motion is where the court allows the action to proceed as a class action – this step is not necessary for our individual actions, which will be proceeding as a mass tort. In the meantime, we have worked to drafting and issuing individual claims for all individuals who have signed up with us. Following the decision in the certification motion, we will be opting out our clients and proceeding with the mass tort.

Due to the national class actions, our mass torts are running along the same timelines. These actions are scheduled to be in court for certification motions later this year. For your information, a certification motion is where the court allows us to proceed as a class action. We may proceed to move earlier, but given the Covid court backlog, we likely would not get the traction we were hoping for. Therefore, following the decision in the certification motions, we will be opting out our clients and proceeding with the mass torts.
