22 Apr ROGERS / FIDO / CHATR– April 19 2021 Wireless Service Outage – National Class Action
Date of Initial Application: April 20, 2021
LEX GROUP Inc. has launched a National class action lawsuit against Rogers Communications Inc., Rogers Communications Canada Inc. and Fido Solutions Inc. (hereinafter collectively “Rogers”), on behalf of all persons in Canada who had an existing “Rogers”, “Rogers for Business”, “Fido” and/or “Chatr” contract and who had their wireless services interrupted on or about April 19, 2021.
The proposed class action alleges that on or about April 19, 2021 plaintiffs and class members experienced problem using their mobile telephone, namely they could not make calls and could not send or receive text messages or otherwise use their data or cellular plan. Their phones were only operational for data while on wifi.
It is believed that the outage lasted all of the morning and most of the day of April 19, 2021 for Plaintiff, whereas it continued for many other Class Members until the late night of April 19, 2021 (if not early morning of April 20, 2021).
Accordingly, if you reside or are domiciled in Canada and had a “Rogers”, “Rogers for Business”, “Fido” and/or “Chatr” wireless contract on April 19, 2021, then you may be part of the proposed Class defined by the class action initiated by our office. Should you be defined as a member of the class, you may be entitled to compensation should the Court authorize and ultimately grant the class action on the merits, or should a settlement be reached (and approved by the Court).
