Apple Privacy Breach Class Action
Jan 2025

LEX GROUP Inc. has launched a Canadian class action against Apple Canada Inc. and Apple, Inc. (collectively “Apple”), on behalf of all persons in Canada who purchased, owned, used or possessed an Apple Siri-enabled device, and members of their households, whose conversations were obtained by Apple and/or were shared with third parties without their consent from at least as early as October 12, 2011 to the present (the “Class Period”).

This Class Action alleges Apple’s unlawful and intentional interception and recording of individuals’ confidential communications without their consent and subsequent unauthorized disclosure of those communications to third parties from approximately October 2011 to the present (the “Class Period”).

Siri is a purported artificial intelligence-based virtual assistant developed by Apple that allows individuals to use their voice to ask questions and receive answers based on information available on the internet and to give instructions for simple tasks that Siri executes. Apple preloads Siri on devices it manufactures, specifically laptops (MacBook), desktop computers (iMac), smartphones (iPhone), tablet computers (iPad), smart speakers (HomePod), music devices (iPod touch), headphones (AirPods), wearable devices (Apple Watch), and home entertainment devices (Apple TV) (collectively the “Siri Devices”).

Accordingly, if you reside in Canada and have purchase and/or own or owned an Apple Siri Device, you may be part of the proposed Canadian 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 the class action and ultimately grant the class action on the merits, or should a settlement be reached (and approved by the Court).

If you wish to be kept informed and/or receive notification of major judgments rendered or notices in this case, please complete the form below.  Please note that providing your information in the form below creates no financial obligation for you and it does not create a lawyer/client relationship between yourself and Lex Group Inc. (or any of its attorneys).  You will not be charged any fees or costs for signing up to this class action since our firm is only paid on a contingency basis from the potential compensation recovered in this file, if the class action is successful by way of final judgment or settlement approved by the Court.

Please be advised that the group definition of the people to be included in this class action may be changed or modified in the future by Court decision or by way of amendment filed by our firm.  We will not inform you or other members of the public if and when the group definition is changed.  It is therefore your sole responsibility to ensure that your own personal rights and recourses are being protected at all times during the course of these proceedings.  You may therefore wish to seek independent legal counsel in order to determine whether it would be in your best interest to pursue independent litigation in this matter (or any other matter), and to determine if you can potentially be included in this case if a final judgment is rendered or if a settlement is reached and approved by the Court.

By signing up to this class action, you are merely asking our firm to include you in our list of potential members in this class action but our firm is not agreeing to represent your personal interests.  If a final judgment is rendered in this case, or if a settlement is reached (and approved by the Court), an e-mail may be sent to you and the relevant information may be posted on this website.  The Court will determine the manner and extent of any future notifications to class members.

Be advised that the information you provide will be included in our list of potential class members for this case, which list may be shared with and disclosed to the Courts and/or other parties in this action (at our discretion).  Rest assured that any such disclosure will be done in such a manner as to protect your personal information and confidentiality from unauthorized use, disclosure or publication.

Finally, be advised that the above-description and summary of the case is being posted on this website for your convenience.  However, in case of conflict between the information on this website and the actual proceedings, documents, and/or judgments in the Court record of this case, the official Court record documents will prevail.  We have for your convenience posted on this webpage certain scanned copies of the several relevant documents from the Court record, including the initial application for authorization to institute a class action which describes the case in much more detail.  You should therefore consult these documents as well as consult this website periodically in order to be kept informed.

Taiga Motors Corporation Securities Class Action
Nov 2024

February 14, 2025: The Applicant is expanding this proposed class action, and adding further defendants, including entities associated with Cannacord Genuity. The Applicant alleges that the defendants engaged in wilful misconduct contrary to the expectations of the investing public in the conduct of the SPAC merger transaction that was carried out in 2021, and subsequently, and misrepresented Taiga Motors’ capability to achieve mass commercial production of its products. The SPAC transaction valued Taiga Motors at $300 million. In early 2023, the defendants represented that Taiga Motors was capable to achieve mass production and delivery of its vehicle in the range of up to 3,500 units. On April 2, 2024, Taiga Motors disclosed that it was not able to achieve mass commercial production of its products on a sustainable basis or anywhere close to the production levels it had represented to the investors. In July 2024, Taiga Motors sought protection under the insolvency legislation of Canada. During that process, Taiga Motors’ business was sold for approximately $1 million.

 

Class Membership Criteria

This claim has been brought and it is being pursued on behalf of a proposed class of investors defined as follows:

  • All persons who acquired securities of Taiga Motors at any time during the period from April 23, 2021 through to and including April 2, 2024, and incurred a loss on their investment, except the Excluded Persons;

__________________________________________________________________

Lex Group Inc. and the Toronto-based law firm of KND Complex Litigation are Counsel to an Ad Hoc Committee of Shareholders of Taiga Motors Corporation in connection with the company’s proceedings under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act, RSC 1985, c C-36 (“CCAA”).  The Ad Hoc Committee of Shareholders seeks to represent the claims of all persons who invested in the securities of Taiga Motors between March 30, 2023 and April 2, 2024 and incurred losses or damages on their investments.  In connection with this matter, we have also commenced a class action in the Superior Court of Quebec on behalf of our clients.

On April 2, 2024, Taiga Motors announced that it was suspending its production and laying off a significant portion of its workforce.  In connection with these announcements, the company furthermore revealed that it had been unable to meet its production targets for fiscal year 2023, and that it would cease providing information regarding its outlook going forward.

On July 10, 2024, Taiga Motors reported that it had commenced an insolvency proceeding under the CCAA.

On November 16, 2024, an article published in La Presse, titled “Victime de la « vallée de la mort »,” revealed that the company had wilfully misrepresented its production capabilities, and suffered from a multitude of operational and manufacturing problems that prevented it from achieving a consistent production rate and resulted in manufacturing defects in the company’s products.

The Ad Hoc Committee of Shareholders is actively engaged with the Court-Appointed Monitors of Taiga Motor in its proceedings under the CCAA.   Information regarding these proceedings is available here: https://www.insolvencies.deloitte.ca/en-ca/Pages/Taiga-Motors.aspx.

  • All persons who acquired securities of Taiga Motors Corporation at any time during the period from March 30, 2023 and April 2, 2024, both dates inclusive, and incurred a loss on their investment.

Accordingly, if you acquired Taiga Motors Corporation securities during the Class Period, you may be part of the proposed class defined by the class action initiated by our offices.

FCA – Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) Defective Batteries Canadian Class Action
Nov 2024

LEX GROUP Inc. has launched a Canadian class action lawsuit against FCA CANADA INC. and FCA US LLC (hereinafter collectively “FCA”), on behalf of all persons in Canada who own, owned, lease, leased and/or used a:

  • 2020-2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV); or 
  • 2022-2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV);

(hereinafter collectively the “Subject Vehicles”).

The proposed class action alleges that FCA marketed, promoted, distributed, leased and sold the Subject Vehicles to Class Members, which were defectively designed and manufactured, namely with defective High-Voltage Batteries and related parts which are prone to stall and/or in certain circumstances catch fire.  FCA has recalled the Subject Vehicles but is to date unable to remedy the admitted Defects and has instructed users to cease charging the High-Voltage Batteries (and therefore to only use the gas engine) and to cease parking the Subject Vehicles indoors or next to buildings (due to the risk of the vehicle catching fire).

Accordingly, if you reside in Canada and have purchased and/or leased and/or own and/or used a 2020-2024 Jeep Wrangler plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) or a 2022-2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), 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).

Thrifty, Dollar, Hertz Car Rental – Foreign Currency Canadian Class Action
Mar 2024

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).
