Sixteen people were killed and 13 were injured when, on April 6, 2018, an inexperienced truck driver went through a stop sign and into the path of the bus at a rural intersection near Tisdale, Sask.
Justice Graeme Mitchell said he's sensitive to how important the matter is. At one point during Friday's hearing, he struggled to know for certain how many individual lawsuits stemmed from the crash.
At the core of Friday's hearing was a proposed class action and whether a lawsuit brought by five other parents shortly after the crash should wait until the courts decide if the class can go ahead.
