1. Update on Logan Class Action Payments from the Government of Canada

The Administrator of the Logan Class Action was not able to begin payments under the settlement in mid-2023, as expected, because the Terms for their engagement were not yet in place.  The delay in finalizing the Terms was caused by the need to negotiate many complex issues, some of which were unforeseen, involving multiple parties and government officials. The negotiations took place from June 9 to November 23, 2023. No part of the delay was caused by Class Counsel. The Court approved the Terms December 6, 2023, and the first payments were issued December 15, 2023.  As a result, the Administrator could not meet the target set out in the Final Settlement Implementation Agreement (“FSIA”) of 50% of claims paid by June 24, 2024. 

Canada requested, and was granted, an extension of time by the Federal Court, as allowed under the FSIA.  The Administrator has been given until October 18, 2024 to make 50% of payments and December 31, 2024 to make 70% of payments.  Importantly, the Administrator is optimistic that it can achieve the ultimate deadline set out in the FSIA of 100% of payments made by June 24, 2025, excluding estate claims, claims subject to appeals, and claims where further information has been requested of a class member but not received.
