The Ontario Court of Appeal has revived a proposed class action brought by the appellant, Pietro Castrillo, on behalf of a class of injured workers whom he alleges have been wrongfully denied the full extent of benefits to which they were entitled under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, 1997 (the “Act”), by the respondent the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (“WSIB”). The class action alleges misfeasance in public office, bad faith, and negligence on the part of the WSIB.
