It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend. - William Blake

 


     Class Actions       

Class actions are appropriate when a group of people have similar potential claims. What may be too small a claim, if pursued by one person, may be a very large claim if pursued by a group of people. There is almost no claim that is too small if it can be the start of a class action. Examples of successful class actions are:
  • Webb v. K-Mart: employees were not given adequate termination notice or pay in lieu of notice.
  • Mangan v. Inco: plant's release of sulfur dioxide caused mild symptoms.
  • Garland v. Consumers Gas: Consumer Gas charged consumers excessive late fees.
  • Gagne v. Silcorp: convenience store terminated its employees without offering adequate severance pay.
  • Dabbs v. Sun Life Assurance: Sun Life charged policy holders premiums beyond the forecasted offset date.
  • Shell Canada settlement: Shell used a fuel additive that damaged the fuel pump and sensors of some cars.
  • Robert Campbell v. W.C.I Canada:: W.C.I. manufactured dryers that were defective.
  • Munro v. Bausch & Lomb: the same contact lenses were sold in different packaging for different prices, allegedly violating the Business Practices Act.
