That has never stopped juries from awarding or rejecting awards. 
That's why this is so interesting. Canada, like most commonwealth 
countries has a "loser pays" policy, which stops a great number of 
nuisance lawsuits.

What's interesting is: I'm not at all sure how this will turn out. 
And as this is a class action, all beekeepers (who didn't explicitly 
opt out) in Ontario, may be getting a bill for Syngenta's and Bayer's 
defence loss if the suit loses.
