A judge says she will decide before Labour Day whether a proposed class action lawsuit alleging decades of negligence and mistreatment at the Restigouche Hospital Centre can proceed.
A statement of claim naming the New Brunswick government and Vitalité Health Network as defendants was filed in May 2019 on behalf of all patients who have resided or been treated at the facility in Campbellton since 1954. It seeks $500 million in damages.
