A class action is proceeding against the Province of Ontario regarding the long wait lists for developmental services in Ontario. Kosky Minsky LLP is the Class Council for this proceeding.
The best way to learn about the class action is to go directly to the website of Kosky Minsky LLP by clicking here. This webpage contains links to important documents. It also has, for those interested, the background and history over the last 5 years. And a good Frequently Asked Questions section at the bottom of the page.
Below is a quote from the site describing who falls within the class action:
