Deadline for Potential G20 Legal Action!
BLOG POST posted on June 14, 2012 by Sterling Stutz
Blog posts are the work of individual contributors, reflecting their thoughts, opinions and research.
We write to remind you that if you have a potential claim or legal action against the police arising out of the G20, there is a two year statute of limitations period which is quickly approaching. Generally speaking, any legal claims must be initiated within two years of the date upon which the acts complained of took place, otherwise the claim may be out of time.
We also write to let you know that we may have documentation and/or witnesses to assist you with your claim, If you are bringing a claim against police or other state agents arising out of the G20 events, please contact us to let us know. We had many legal observers on the streets documenting incidents, including arrests and police abuses, and with their permission, we may be able to put you in touch.
Finally, if you witnessed any police misconduct and abuses, please feel free to contact us to let us know so that we may put you in touch with potential claimants.
In solidarity,
The MDC
