During the course of the litigation, the government retained five agents to represent the interests of the defendants: Messrs. Claude-Armand Sheppard, Yvan Bolduc, Vincent O'Donnell, Bruno Pateras, and Harvey Strosberg.
The agents were assisted as required by members of their respective firms. The government negotiated substantial reductions from the agents'normal hourly rates.
As of January 17, 1997 the Crown had paid out $935,732.60 in lawyers fees.
In addition to the agents, lawyers with the Department of Justice in Montreal and Ottawa have worked on the Airbus litigation as required.
