  • Facts: Roanda Lila Anastasiades filed a class action lawsuit against Revera Inc. and associated entities, alleging negligence in handling the COVID-19 pandemic at their long-term care facilities in British Columbia. The claim includes failures in planning, preparing, and responding to COVID-19, leading to resident infections and deaths.

  • Issue: The core legal issue revolves around whether Revera and its contractors were negligent in their duties to prevent or control the spread of COVID-19 in care homes, and if they are liable for damages to the residents and their families.

  • Court’s Ruling: The court has not yet ruled on the main allegations of negligence. However, it stayed the third-party proceedings pending the outcome of the certification hearing for the class action. This means the claims against third-party contractors, brought by Revera for contribution and indemnity, are paused until the class action’s certification is decided.

  • Costs/Damages: Specific costs or damages have not been awarded at this stage, as the case is still in the pre-certification stage for the class action lawsuit. The court ruled that Revera is entitled to costs for the application related to the stay of the third-party proceedings, but the exact amount was not detailed in the provided information.
