1. This matter had come before me in short order. There was a summons taken out apparently on behalf of 2,346 plaintiffs (out of a total of 2,631 plaintiffs) in this consolidated action, though the authority of the solicitors, Stephenson Harwood, is disputed by the original solicitors on record for all the plaintiffs, K & L Gates, who have applied in response to strike out the former’s notice to act.
