A Superior Court judge has approved a class-action lawsuit against the OPP over the 2006 native occupation of the former Douglas Creek Estates in Caledonia.
The lawsuit, involving four businesses and 14 Caledonia residents, names former OPP commissioner Gwen Boniface, the former Haldimand OPP detachment commander and the Ontario government.
In a decision released Monday, Judge David Crane agreed the lawsuit reasonably met the requirements of identifiable classes with common claims

The class-action lawsuit focuses on the closure of Argyle Street, closure of Highway 6 and the OPP’s alleged failure to enforce court injunctions.
The suit alleges the OPP and province broke laws allowing these things to happen. The allegations have yet to be proven in court.
