Update as of February 2025:
This Settlement has been completed.
However, a very small number of Class Members were not sent cheques or provided an opportunity to make claims, due to an error by the Claims Administrator. Accordingly:
- ONLY PERSONS WHO RECEIVED CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE CLASS ACTION ADMINISTRATOR IN FEBRUARY 2025 are affected by the note below;
- For ALL OTHER PERSONS, the Settlement process has been fully completed, and there will be no further payments or claims.
For the small number of Class Members who were sent correspondence by the Claims Administrator:
- Persons who were mailed a cheque with settlement funds also received a notice that they may file for additional claimable funds. The deadline for making claims is March 17, 2025.
- Persons who were e-mailed a Claims Notice were not eligible to receive a cheque but could take steps to file a claim for settlement funds. The deadline for making claims is March 17, 2025.
