The development is a step toward resolving some elements of a Federal Court action filed in 2019 by diplomats and dependants -- now numbering 18 plaintiffs -- who seek millions of dollars in damages from the Canadian government after becoming mysteriously ill while posted to Havana.
The parties have agreed to the appointment of Cromwell, who served eight years on the top court, as mediator at a session slated to take place in late February or early March next year.Paul Miller and John Phillips, co-counsel for the plaintiffs, said in a statement to The Canadian Press that they appreciate the government agreeing to proceed with mediation for the claims of seven children and two spouses who suffered traumatic brain injuries while in Cuba.
The diplomats say the Canadian government failed to protect them, hid crucial information and downplayed the seriousness of the risks. The government has denied wrongdoing and negligence.
