You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I've lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." You must do the thing you think you cannot do. - Eleanor Roosevelt

 


     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.
