Class action

And I've taught at Columbia and Ohio State.

For the American Bar Association, I ran this big program called the National Institute on Class Actions for 15 years, where I really put on vibrant, fun, fresh... invigorating formatting, like game shows and talk shows and three act plays and all this fun, vibrant stuff, because I wanted to find a lane where I could deliver this proactive wellness message to people in an immediate way and in an entertaining way that keeps them engaged and keeps them interested.

And that brought me to where I am now, which is where I've stepped out of law.

and into this legal wellness brand, your lovable lawyer brand, which you mentioned includes my new book just out in last November.

And finally, James is going to outline a couple of significant contract law decisions, first on termination and the recovery of loss of bargain damages and then on force majeure.

So starting with the quick updates, first, I want to note that the third edition of our textbook, Class Actions in England and Wales, is hot off the presses.

It's been fully updated to reflect developments since our second edition was published in 2022, and, and trust me, there have been a lot of relevant court decisions in those four years.

Previous editions of the textbook have been cited in various judgments, including two from the Supreme Court, and I hope the third edition will prove to be a, a useful resource for both clients and practitioners.

That is central to what the lawsuit is trying to accomplish.

The women are asking the court to certify the case as a class action and oversee a coordinated effort to identify and notify others whose images were allegedly part of Epstein's collection.

Imagine that fucking phone call.

Like, I can't even begin to imagine.

Very awful stories of abuse and our experiences from dozens of former students.

Nearly two dozen current and former officials from Saskatoon's Legacy Christian Academy and Mile 2 Church are being served with papers in a $25 million proposed class action lawsuit.

The government has totally failed to fulfill its legal obligations, duties and responsibilities owed to these students.

I am so thankful for so many of my peers that I've found the courage to tell their stories so that we may move forward to a place of healing.

I've been able to watch you become more grounded, more yourself, and more at peace over time, and it's a really beautiful thing to witness.

You deserve to celebrate all of your hard work and your success because you fought so hard for this version of your life, and I'm really proud of you, and I'm sending you lots of love.

If you are a former student of Legacy Christian Academy, Christian Center Academy, or attended Mile 2 Church or Saskatoon Christian Center while you were a minor and experienced or observed sexual, physical, emotional, and or spiritual abuse and want to join the class action lawsuit, head to sharpsteinlaw.com to complete the intake form.

The link is also on the show notes.

Some people have filed a class action suit.

There's

actually now two class action lawsuits.

Oh, okay.

There's three lawsuits.

Very compelling.

I am Mr.

Class Action Lawsuit.
