Rath and Company Covid Trust
282050 Highway 22 W
Foothills, AB T0L 1W2

Rath and Company is representing a number of groups of citizens of Alberta and Canada who are fighting for Medical Professionals, Alberta Public Service Employees, Businesspeople, Frontline Responders, and others who are suffering as a result of abusive Federal and Provincial Covid-19 related mandates.

Rath and Company and its principal, Jeffrey R. W. Rath, has put the full resources of the firm, lawyers, and staff into waging this fight on a ProBono basis since the middle of 2020. As you can imagine, this is a very costly endeavour.

If you are interested in showing your support with a donation, the funds will be held in trust for the purpose of defraying salaries, legal fees and disbursements.

What is a Class Action?

A class action is where one or a few individuals (plaintiffs) sues an individual, group, or entity (defendant) on behalf of a larger group of people who claim the same type of loss as the plaintiff.

Steps in a Class Action

Call out for participants – starting in October of 2021, Jeffrey Rath has released a number of open letters asking that individuals who feel that they have been harmed by the Governments Response to COVID-19 contact Rath and Company.

The response and support has been incredible.

  1. discloses a cause of action;
  2. contains an identifiable class;
  3. proposes issues common to the class;
  4. is the preferable procedure for resolving the complaint; and
  5. has an appropriate representative plaintiff.

Once an action is certified, it proceeds to trial.
