Abstract
Class-wide arbitration, which combines traditional class action and arbitration procedure, has existed in the United States for several years. A recent decision of the United States Supreme Court has underlined its importance for contemporary American litigation. Although courts in Canada and Quebec have never recognized classwide arbitration specifically, a string of judgments have allowed for the consolidation of arbitration disputes. This suggests that class-wide arbitration of the type practised south of the border may be received into our own legal systems. The consequences of such a development for defendant companies, in particular, as well as a new range of plaintiffs, are arguably extensive. This paper looks at the relevant United States, Canadian, and Quebec case law, with a view to analysing the hybrid procedure and evaluating its potential impact.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
