On June 24, 2025, Justice Favel of the Federal Court of Canada approved the proposed settlement agreement in this class action. The next step will be the claims process where individuals will need to submit a claim to received compensation. The Claims Process is not open yet. We expect that it will start October 27, 2025.
If you do not want to be part of this Settlement you can choose to opt-out. Opting out means that you will not receive compensation under the Settlement you wish to keep your right to bring your own lawsuit for abuse experienced while admitted to a Federal Indian Hospital. If you wish to opt-out, you must complete and submit an Opt-Out Form before, August 25, 2025.
