On August 1, 2022, the Superior Court of Quebec authorized a Quebec Data Breach Class Action against Audi Canada Inc. (hereinafter “Audi”) regarding the Data Breach which involved the theft of personal information belonging to Audi’s current customers, potential customers and/or past customers. The authorization judgment is available on this page.
_________________________________________________________________________
Lex Group Inc. has launched a national class action against Audi Canada Inc. (hereinafter “Audi”) and Volkswagen Group Canada Inc. (hereinafter “Volkswagen”), regarding the Data Breach which involved the theft of personal information belonging to an estimated 3.3 million current customers, potential customers and/or past customers in North America.
It is alleged that Audi and Volkswagen exposed personal data obtained between 2014 and 2019 during a period lasting approximately 2 years, namely from August 2019 to May 2021. It was not until March 10, 2021, that Audi and Volkswagen apparently learned of the Data Breach. Affected people residing in Canada could be receiving an email or a letter from Audi and/or Volkswagen. If you receive such correspondence, please retain it.
The stolen personal information of the affected clients includes, without limitation:
Accordingly, if you have received an email or a letter from Audi and/or Volkswagen or if you have provided your personal and/or personal information to Audi and/or Volkswagen between 2014 and 2019, your 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 in this class action, 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.
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.

Data Breach which involved the theft of personal information belonging to an estimated 86,948 La Place 0-5 users. Certain affected persons may have received an email from The Place 0-5 on May 13, 2021.
The Place 0-5 is the organization mandated by the Government of Quebec to manage the only public gateway service to recognized Quebec daycares.

Accordingly, if you received an email from La Place 0-5 on May 13, 2021 or if you provided your personal information to The Place 0-5, your personal information may have been stolen or compromised in the May 8, 2021 Data Breach 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 in this class action, 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).

Authorization and Hearing to Approve Proposed Settlement of XEBEC ADSORPTION INC. Securities Class Action
June 30, 2023 – This notice relates to a proposed class action commenced against FormerXBC Inc., formerly Xebec Adsorption Inc. (“Xebec”), Kurt Sorschak, Stéphane Archambault, Louis Dufour, William Beckett, Guy Saint Jacques, Desjardins Securities Inc., National Bank Financial Inc., Canaccord Genuity Group Inc., Raymond James Ltd., Beacon Securities Limited, TD Securities Inc., and Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc.
The representative Plaintiffs and Xebec have reached a proposed settlement of the claim which is subject to approval by the Superior Court of Québec (the “Court”).
The class action has now been authorized for settlement purposes only. This notice provides information about this proposed settlement and related matters and how you can exclude yourself (“opt-out”) out of the class action.
Your legal rights are affected even if you do nothing. Please read this notice carefully.
The class action was authorized on behalf of all persons and entities, wherever they may reside or may be domiciled, who purchased securities of Xebec pursuant to a prospectus, in the secondary market, through a private placement, or who acquired the securities of Xebec in exchange for shares of HyGear Technology and Services B.V.,, during the period from November 10, 2019, to March 24, 2021, inclusively, (the “Class Period”) and held some or all of such securities as of the close of trading on the TSX on March 11, 2021 or March 24, 2021, other than the “Excluded Persons”.
Excluded Persons means:
The proposed Settlement Amount is CAD $5,000,000 (“Settlement Fund”) including Class Counsel’s fees, applicable taxes and expenses, and interest. The Defendants deny any wrongdoing or liability. The settlement does not constitute an admission of wrongdoing or liability by Xebec or any Defendant. By agreeing to the proposed settlement, the parties avoid the costs and uncertainty of a trial and delays in obtaining judgment.
What Could I Get From This Action
What you can recover from the Settlement Fund is a function of two variables: (1) The size of your Recognized Claim; and (2) How many other Claimants make claims for a portion of the net Settlement Fund as all recognized claims will be distributed pro rata if there are insufficient funds available to pay all claims. Note however that the Settlement Fund will first be reduced by legal fees, notice costs, and administration expenses and there will therefore not be $5,000,000 available for distribution.
What is a recognized Claim
In order to be eligible to make a claim you have to have purchases or acquired Xebec Shares during the Class Period and held the Xebec Shares until specific times. The exact time periods relevant to make Recognized Claims are set out below and set out in more detail in the Plan of Allocation available here.
The size of your Recognized Claim depends on 2 factors: (1) The size of your loss measured by the formula in the Plan of Allocation set out here; and (2) your Risk Adjustment factor.
Risk Adjustment Factor
Not all persons who acquired Xebec Shares in the Class Period have claims of the same strength. For example, persons who acquired Xebec Shares in the secondary market (like the TSX) or because they were HyGear shareholders, do not have the same claims as persons who purchased pursuant to a Prospectus. The Plan of Allocation, which still must be approved by the Court, creates a Risk Adjustment factor as set out below, such that each Claimant’s loss as calculated in the Plan of Allocation will be adjusted or reduced to arrive at the Recognized Claim amount. A chart of the relevant Risk Adjustments is set out below.
Type of Claimant | Risk Adjustment Factor |
Bought in Secondary Market:
(i.e., bought Xebec shares on a stock exchange between November 10, 2019 – March 24 2021) |
35% |
Bought Pursuant to a Prospectus:
(i.e., bought Xebec Subscription Receipts pursuant to the Final Short Form Prospectus dated December 21, 2020) |
50% |
Bought in a Private Placement:
(i.e., bought Xebec Subscription Receipts in the private placement carried out in December 2020) |
10% |
HyGear Investors:
(i.e., received Xebec shares in exchange for shares of HyGear Technology and Services B.V.) |
35% |
What is the effect of the Risk Adjustment
The Risk Adjustment reduces a claim such that the Recognized Claim is the percentage of the claim set out above. For example, a Claimant that would have a claim for $100 and is subject to a Risk Adjustment of 35% has a Recognized Claim for $35. A Claimant with the same claim for $100 who has a Risk Adjustment of 50% has a Recognized Claim for $50.
If there is not enough money to pay all the Recognized Claims in full, the claims will be paid pro rata.
If you do not wish to be bound by the class action and participate in the settlement, you must opt-out of the class action. A copy of the opt-out form is available at:
https://knd.law/class-actions/xebec-adsorption-inc/ and on this page.
The Court is required to decide whether to approve the proposed settlement, Class Counsel Fee request of 30% of the Settlement Amount plus disbursements and tax, and a plan to allocate and distribute the Settlement Amount. The Court will hear submissions about the approval of the proposed settlement on September 29, 2023 at 9:30 AM ET, in room 16.04 of the Montreal Courthouse (located at 1 Notre-Dame Street East, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, H2Y 1B5). Payments will only be made available if the Court approves the proposed settlement, after any appeals, and after a claims process is concluded.
Your Legal Rights and Options:
What should I do
These rights and options and the deadlines to exercise them and further information about the proposed settlement are explained in a more detailed notice available at: https://knd.law/class-actions/xebec-adsorption-inc/ and on this page.
More details may also be found in the Settlement Agreement. You can obtain a copy of the Settlement Agreement at https://knd.law/class-actions/xebec-adsorption-inc/ or on this page. You can send your questions by email to [email protected] or [email protected] or by fax to (416) 352-7638 or (514) 940-1605.
The lawyers for the Plaintiffs and the Class in this class action are KND Complex Litigation and Lex Group Inc.

LEX GROUP Inc. announces that it has filed a lawsuit against XEBEC ADSORPTION INC. (hereinafter “Xebec”) and certain of its current and former directors and officers, on behalf of all persons all persons and entities, wherever they may reside or may be domiciled, who purchased or otherwise acquired Xebec’s securities between November 10, 2020 and March 11, 2021 inclusively (hereinafter the “Class Period”) and held some or all of such securities as of the close of trading on the TSX on March 11, 2021.
The proposed class action alleges that Xebec and the individual respondents made misrepresentations by overstating Xebec’s revenue and made false representations regarding its revenue accounting practices, and the fact that Xebec maintained proper internal controls to ensure that its financial statements were reliable and free of material misstatements.
Accordingly, if you acquired Xebec securities during the Class Period 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).
LEX GROUP Inc. has teamed up with the law firm of Financial Litigation to launch a class action lawsuit against Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd. (hereinafter “Turquoise Hill” or the “Company” or “TRQ”) and certain of its current and former directors and officers, on behalf of all persons and entities wherever they may reside or may be domiciled who during the period of time from July 31, 2018 to July 31, 2019 inclusively (hereinafter the “Class Period”) purchased Turquoise Hill’ securities in the secondary market and held some or all of those securities until after July 15, 2019 and or July 31, 2019, and who either:
(1) are or were residents of Canada (regardless over which exchange they acquired Turquoise Hill’s securities); or
(2) acquired Turquoise Hill’s securities in the secondary market in Canada or elsewhere other than in the United States.
The proposed class action alleges that Turquoise Hill and the individual respondents made misrepresentations and omissions of material facts and failed to make timely disclosure of material changes with regards to the expected cost and timing for the underground expansion of Turquoise Hill’s Oyu Tolgoi Mine located in Mongolia. Specifically, the proposed class action alleges that Turquoise Hill and the individual respondents knew or should have known that the underground expansion of the Oyu Tolgoi mine would cost over a billion dollars more and take years longer than the Company was representing to investors, because among other reasons, whistleblowers had expressly told Turquoise Hill’s controlling shareholder about the cost overruns and delays.
Accordingly, if you acquired Turquoise Hills securities during the Class Period in Canada or anywhere other than in the United States, or if you are a Canadian resident who acquired Turquoise Hill’s securities in the United States, you may be part of the proposed class defined by the class action initiated by our office and Financial Litigation. 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).

BE ADVISED THAT ON MARCH 25, 2022, THE SUPERIOR COURT OF QUEBEC ORDERED THE SUSPENSION OF THE PRESENT QUEBEC CLASS ACTION FILE, WHILE A SIMILAR NATIONAL CLASS ACTION PROCEEDS IN THE PROVINCE OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. A COPY OF THE SUSPENSION JUDGMENT IS AVAILABLE ON THIS PAGE.
______________________________________________________________________
LEX GROUP Inc. has launched a Quebec class action lawsuit against FCA CANADA INC. and FCA US LLC (hereinafter collectively “FCA”), on behalf of all persons in Quebec who own, owned, lease and/or leased a:
equipped with a 3.0 litre EcoDiesel engine containing exhaust gas recirculation coolers, designed, manufactured, assembled, tested, marketed, advertised, distributed, leased and/or sold by the FCA (hereinafter collectively the “Affected Class Vehicles”).
The proposed class action alleges that FCA marketed, promoted, distributed, leased and sold the Affected Class Vehicles to Class Members, which were defectively designed and manufactured, namely with defective exhaust gas recirculation coolers (“EGR Cooler(s)”) and related parts which are prone to overheating, leak evaporated coolant liquid or fuel, stall and/or in certain circumstances catch fire. The alleged defects in question affect various parts and components of the engine and EGR cooler system of the Affected Class Vehicles.
It is believed that FCA knew since at least 2014 that the EGR coolers tended to crack, and engine fires had occurred, but FCA did not open an investigation until May 2019, and did not issue a recall until October 2019.
Accordingly, if you reside in Quebec and have purchased and/or leased and/or own a 2014 to 2019 Dodge Ram 1500, a 2014 to 2019 Dodge Ram1500 Classic vehicle, or a 2014 to 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee, equipped with a 3.0 litre EcoDiesel engine, 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).
