  • Counsel for Dabbs. This was a motion by Dabbs to quash an appeal from an order that this action be certified as a class action and a motion for leave to appeal by Maclean from the certification order. Dabbs was a representative plaintiff in a class proceedings against the defendant Sun Life Assurance Company. The parties entered into a settlement agreement. Maclean, a member of the class, participated in the settlement approval proceedings. He did not ask for party status. Maclean objected to the approval of the settlement. The agreement affected 400,000 class members across Canada and had been approved by British Columbia and Quebec courts. The trial judge approved the settlement pursuant to the Class Proceedings Act and found it to be fair, reasonable and in the best interest of those affected by it. Dabbs argued that Maclean had no standing to bring an appeal.
