Hi.
I received an email detailing this Canadian class-action suit. The email includes links to apply to this action plus other relevant information. The dead-line for application is October 2023.
I do not recall applying to any law suit (recently
) so I think my name and email was farmed from, or submitted by the vehicle dealerships I use?
Has anyone else on this board received this email? If so, what do you think? Personally, I have not taken the time to read each link or call the phone number for more information but I will soon.
Thanks for reading and I look for ward to some ideas.
Regards,
Richard

What is this Class Action About? Class action lawsuits were commenced in Ontario, British Columbia, and/or Quebec alleging that automotive part manufacturers conspired to fix the price of certain automotive parts. This distribution relates to settlements totalling approximately CDN $78.4 million, reached in 23 auto parts actions. The aggregate settlement funds, plus accrued interest, less Court-approved legal fees and expenses, and applicable taxes, are available for compensation to Settlement Class Members. The settlements were approved by the courts in Ontario, British Columbia, and/or Quebec. The settlements are a compromise of disputed claims and are not an admission of liability. Who Can Apply to Receive Settlement Benefits? To be eligible for settlement benefits in any particular action, you must have purchased and/or leased a new passenger car, sport utility vehicle, van, and/or light truck (up to 10,000 lbs.) from the applicable Automaker(s) during the relevant period. See www.autopartsettlement.ca/faq (No. 9) for a list of relevant parts, Automakers and time periods. Applying for Settlement Benefits Apply for payments online at Auto Parts Settlement Page.
