The Judge of the Ontario Court has approved a $ 500 million settlement on May 7, saying the money presented by food companies “is excellent and correct result.

“He is in the best interest in class,” he said in the written decision. “I think it falls inside the reasonable zone.”

He accepted the settlements that Loblaw and George Weston are combined with $ 404 million. Through the rest of the $ 96 million product card, Loblaw began in 2018 and lasted until 2019 with the intention of corrections to customers who have paid $ 1.50 for each bread.

Bread Bread between January 2001 and December 2021 and earlier did not make gift cards Loblaw, will eventually receive until $ 25.

If the money is left after that distribution, the fund will be distributed among the one who has claimed a gift card.

Acceptance ends a chapter for setting saga price

Morgan’s decision ends a chapter in a sag with lobbed allegations in the country with lobbed goods, including meters, Sobeys, Walmart Canada, Canadian bread and giant tiger.

While these players coordinated the price of 2001, Loblaw and George Weston were part of 2015. Their acceptance was not until 2017.

Then they offered a $ 25 gift card to try to compensate for customers, but buyers were not so harmful and in December 2019, an action in Quebec against them and was presented against some other food. The Quebec Court will discuss arguments on whether the settlement of Loblaw and George Weston approves Loblaw and George Weston.

Ontario class action was presented by Strosberg Wingfield Sasso Llp in December 2021, but last year he got a $ 500 million settlement.

“The parties don’t have to do a lot to convince the lawsuits that fought from all sides,” Morgan’s judge said in his decision.

He asked for commentary approval of the settlement, Catherine Bososperson Thomas stated a statement of the Canadian 2024 “,” we apologize in the organization and “Several steps have been done again to ensure that it will not happen again.”

“We know that we have more to recover our customers’ confidence and commit to it,” the statement said.

A spokesman for George Weston did not respond immediately to a request for comment.

The agreement they put before solves all national bread pricing repairs or solve the claims that could face it, and ensured that they would not fight for some foods that did not offer a setting.

Little objection against settlement supply

Offer Loblaw and George Weston allowed four objections and 475, the Judge Morgan said that “very small amounts are approximately 20 million and class members.”

What opposed the settlement was not in court to explain his opinions, but a review of their submissions showed that they were fighting for settlement, Morgan said Morgan.

“One of the goals did not choose to talk about the movement of the agreement, but a review of their written objections indicates that there are no principles if they don’t want other people who don’t want money,” he wrote. “

“While I sympathize with that feeling, I’m not in position to increase the settlement fund, and I’m not at all based on a few class members who want to exclude more.”
