Unlicensed Nurse Charrybelle Talaue (BC & AB)

What is this lawsuit about?

Slater Vecchio LLP is looking into a potential class action lawsuit for individuals whose safety and health may have been affected by Charrybelle Talaue, who allegedly operated as an unlicensed nurse in BC and Alberta.

Charrybelle Talaue was arrested in the U.S. and had been charged with multiple counts of fraud, forgery and impersonation after she allegedly used fake documents to apply for a nursing job.

She had worked in BC and Alberta under multiple aliases which include Charrybelle Perez Talaue, Charrybelle Talaue Baldesancho, Belle Talaue, Belle Marie, Charrybelle Baldesancho, Charie Talaue, Yves Anglehart, Belle Yves Talaue Anglehart and Yves Belle Anglehart.

What is a class action?

A class action is a legal case through which one person makes a claim to the Court on behalf of a similarly situated class of people who have the same or a similar legal claim. A class action seeks to hold a defendant or defendants responsible for their conduct that affects each member of the class by resolving issues that are common to the class in the same legal proceeding, instead of each class member bringing a claim individually.

The individual who first files the claim must ask the Court for permission to proceed as a class action. If permission is granted (referred as “authorized” in Quebec, and “certified” in all other Canadian provinces) and the case may proceed as a class action, the Court will appoint an individual as “Representative Plaintiff” to represent the best interests of the class during the litigation and will define the class group. Each person who meets the criteria of the class group is considered a “Class Member”.
