Areas of Practice

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
  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.
