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
Consumers 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
