Class Action: Safe Supply

Wilson Laycraft has filed a proposed class action in the British Columbia Supreme Court for the diversion of safe supply drugs

The claim alleges the following:

Drugs supplied through the safe supply program are diverted to innocent third parties, including children. The primary drug diverted from the safe supply program is hydromorphone and it is sold under the brand name ‘Dilaudid’. Hydromorphone pills are known as ‘dillies’.

Doctors, nurses, clinics and/or pharmacists prescribe hydromorphone to patients suffering from addictions. The safe supply program supplies the prescribed hydromorphone, free of charge, to patients. After receiving their free hydromorphone pills, patients sell the pills and use the money to support other illegal activity, including the purchase of fentanyl.

This program is ongoing today.

The proposed Safe Supply Class Action seeks to hold the federal and provincial governments, doctors and clinics accountable for the wrongful diversion of safe supply drugs, including hydromorphone. The proposed class includes individuals who meet one of three criteria:

  1. Consumed diverted safe supply drugs;

  2. Consumed what they believed were diverted safe supply drugs; or

  3. Consumed drugs they believed were safe because they were diverted from the safe supply program.
