April 2022: The MDL Paraquat class action judge will have a status conference on April 1st to review where the litigation is headed and how best to take the bellwether lawsuits forward for trial in November 2022. 44 new paraquat lawsuits have been added to the MDL in the last two weeks. At this pace, April 2022 will be the busiest month for new files yet. Last week, the parties filed their class-action bellwether picks with the Paraquat MDL judge. Those choices, however, have not been made public.

May 2022: In the last month, over 50 new cases have been added to the Paraquat Lawsuit Multidistrict Litigation (MDL). A group of six patients was recently selected by the Paraquat MDL court for the initial Paraquat Parkinson's disease bellwether trials. As a result, the first trial in November 2022 is approaching soon. The strategy is to select 16 paraquat claims from among the almost 1000 Parkinson's disease litigation claims filed. Following some limited fact discovery in these instances, paraquat attorneys on both sides submitted a preference list to the MDL court, ranking the 16 cases in order of priority. Attorneys for plaintiffs seek the finest facts for their clients, while defense attorneys want the worst. The judge whittled the list down to six Paraquat claims based on these rankings.

In 2011, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) began releasing the results of an investigation that revealed a long culture of sexual abuse and cover-up's in Scouts Canada. The CBC found that Scouts Canada had kept what it called a "confidential list" of pedophiles within the organization, dating back as far as the 1940's, as well as 340 instances of sexual abuse committed by active scout leaders. This prompted Scouts Canada to admit that not all cases of abuse had been reported to the authorities and in 2012, issue a formal apology to all past victims of sexual abuse by scout leaders and volunteer members. Scouts Canada handed over all internal records to accounting firm KPMG for a third party audit, which confirmed hundreds of instances of sexual abuse over many decades. The audit also identified 14 scout members who were expelled from the organization for sexual assault but still permitted to participate in scout activities after expulsion.

Many provinces have removed statute of limitation periods on sexual abuse cases, allowing victims to take action against the individuals and organizations that failed to protect them, no matter how long ago the abuse happened.

Richard Turley, a known pedophile, abused multiple boys across Scouts organizations in Canada and the U.S. from the 1970s to 1980s, moving between troops without intervention. A CBC investigation revealed that while Scouts Canada dismissed Turley in the 1980s after learning of misconduct, it took nearly a decade for law enforcement to take action. The Boy Scouts of America was aware of Turley’s offenses yet allowed him to evade authorities. Turley, who faced conviction in the 1990s, admitted to exploiting the Scouts' trust to target victims. The scandal highlights systemic failures in protecting children from abuse.
