Lex Group Inc. has launched a national Canadian class action against various Ticketmaster and Live Nation entities regarding the data breach that involved the theft of the personal and financial/payment information of Ticketmaster clients, including clients in Canada. This data breach occurred on or before May 20, 2024.

The stolen information involved in this Data Breach includes without limitation the Ticketmaster clients’ full names, addresses, email addresses,           phone numbers, ticket sales, event details, order information, and credit and payment card information and details (including without limitation customer names, the last four digits of card numbers, expiration dates, and customer fraud details).  According to media reports, the stolen information has already been offered for sale on the Dark Web.

Accordingly, if you have been a client of or dealt with Ticketmaster or Live Nation, and if you reside in Canada, your personal and financial / payment information may have been stolen or compromised and 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 grant the class action on the merits, or should a settlement be reached (and approved by the Court).

Please fill out the form below if you wish to be kept informed of the progress of this case.

LEX GROUP Inc. has launched a national class action lawsuit against Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group Canada and Hertz Canada Limited, which do business in Canada under the names inter alia: Thrifty Car Rental, Thrifty, Dollar, Dollar Rent A Car, Dollar Car Rental, Dollar location d’autos, Hertz, Hertz location de voiture, Hertz Rental Car, and Hertz Car Rental (hereinafter collectively the “Defendants” or the “Hertz Group”) on behalf of all residents of Canada who rented or reserved a vehicle (including other charged services) on the Canadian “Thrifty”, “Dollar” and/or “Hertz” mobile apps and/or on their Canadian websites including “thriftycanada.ca”, “dollarcanada.ca” and/or “hertz.ca”, and who were charged and paid a price higher than initially indicated or advertised (assuming CAD), including without limitation being charged in a foreign currency other than Canadian Dollars (CAD) (for instance those who were charged in US Dollars (USD) instead of in Canadian Dollars (CAD).

The class action proceedings allege that Defendants do not indicate nor confirm the foreign currency to be charged on some of their Canadian mobile apps or .ca websites, leading to customers being charged a higher price than that advertised at the initial review stage of the transaction since Defendants have not prominently displaying neither the “all-in” price nor the currency they intend to charge and then ultimately charge in a foreign currency. Moreover, the proceedings allege that the Defendants made false and misleading representations in this regard and are liable to pay punitive damages in addition to reimbursing the overage charged to customers (including any foreign currency conversion charges or commissions that may have been charged by the customer’s credit card or other payment card companies).

Accordingly, if you have rented or reserved a vehicle (including other charged services) on the Canadian “Thrifty”, “Dollar” and/or “Hertz” mobile apps or their .ca websites, and you were charged in a currency other than Canadian Dollars (CAD), 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, or should a settlement be reached (and approved by the Court).

Lex Group Inc. and LPC Avocat Inc. have launched a national class action against Rogers, Bell and Telus alleging that they prominently and falsely advertised their mobile plans as having “unlimited data”, but failed to adequately disclose to their customers (or sometimes to disclose at all) that there were significant reductions in data speed (referred to in the industry as “throttling”), after their customers reached a certain data cap.

The Applicant further alleges that Rogers misled consumers in the marketing of its “Roam Like Home” service because Rogers throttles its customers when they are abroad. As such, their mobile service does not “Roam Like Home” (rather at significantly lesser speeds and functionality).

 

Proposed Classes:

“Rogers Infinite” Class:

All natural and legal persons in Canada who subscribed to Rogers’ Infinite wireless phone plans.

“Roam Like Home” Class:

All natural and legal persons in Canada who subscribed to Rogers’ Roam Like Home service and whose mobile services were throttled while using it away from home.

“Telus Unlimited” Class:

All natural and legal persons in Canada who subscribed to Telus’ wireless phone plans advertised as having “unlimited data”.

“Bell Unlimited” Class:

All natural and legal persons in Canada who subscribed to Bell Mobility’s wireless phone plans advertised as having “unlimited data”.

Remedies sought for consumers:

The purpose of this class action is to obtain:

a) an injunction ordering Rogers, Bell and Telus to cease the prohibited business practices and misleading advertising concerning “unlimited data”; and
b) compensatory and punitive damages in amounts to be determined.
