title: Ontario court justice dismisses class action suit of persons notified of exposure to tuberculosis.
abstract: A recent decision of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice to dismiss a class action suit by individuals who had been notified of possible exposure to tuberculosis and who later required testing has important implications for the public health practice of mounting public notification campaigns to encourage testing to reduce the spread of communicable diseases such as tuberculosis (TB) and HIV.
