In a 40-page judgement rendered this morning, the Honourable Justice Donald Bisson authorized a class action by Les Courageuses against Gilbert Rozon.
Mr Justice Bisson delivers an important message to victims of sexual assault by clearly stating that a class action allows, “all victims to understand that they are not alone, that the assaults are not their fault and that if they have the courage to come forward to denounce the sexual abuse committed against them, they will make the versions of the other victims more likely”.
Judge Bisson concluded by stating that without the class action, it is very likely that many victims would be deprived of the exercise of their rights in court.
We invite all victims to contact the lawyers in this file whose details are provided below. The judgement confirms that those who communicate with the lawyers are protected by professional secrecy and do not have to fear that their identity will be revealed to anyone.
Communications with class counsel will be CONFIDENTIAL and FREE OF CHARGE.
