Lex Group Inc. has launched a class action against the Coopérative de services enfancefamille.org, who also operates under the names La Place 0-5 and The Place 0-5, and against the Government of Quebec (the Procureur général du Québec – Ministère de la famille), regarding the May 8, 2021
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.

The stolen personal information includes, without limitation, The Place 0-5 user name, the child’s name, the email address, the postal address, the telephone number, the date of birth, the NIREC (the registration number on the birth certificate and with the Directeur de l’état civil) and the registration number. The stolen information concerned the parents of the registered children and possibly the personal information of the children themselves, such as their date of birth and their NIREC.

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).

• 2014 to 2019 Dodge Ram 1500;
• 2014 to 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 Classic vehicle; or
• 2014 to 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee (the inclusion of these vehicles still requires the Court’s permission);

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.

• Ticketmaster Canada ULC 
• Ticketmaster Canada LP
• Ticketmaster LLC 
• Live Nation Canada Inc.
• Live Nation Entertainment Inc.
• Live Nation WorldWide Inc.

on behalf of:

All person present on the territory of Québec at the time of purchase of a ticket (regardless of the location where the event is to take place) between May 12, 2017 and March 11, 2020, for an event to take place on March 11, 2020 or after this date, subsequently postponed, rescheduled or cancelled, without a full refund to said persons within 15 days of the request for refund.

_______________________________________________________________

LEX GROUP Inc. has launched a national class action against:

• Ticketmaster Canada Holdings ULC, Ticketmaster Canada ULC, Ticketmaster Canada LP and Ticketmaster LLC (collectively “Ticketmaster”) (also doing business under the name Réseauadmission),
• Live Nation Canada Inc., Live Nation Entertainment Inc., Live Nation WorldWide Inc.

on behalf of all persons in Canada, who purchased before March 11, 2020 one or more tickets from one of the above-mentioned companies for an event scheduled to take place after March 11, 2020, which event was subsequently either postponed, rescheduled or cancelled, without a full refund being timely provided by the platform.

(Note: With the permission of the Court, the proceedings have been discontinued as against AXS Group Canada Inc.,  AXS Group LLC, Gametime United Inc., and TicketNetwork Inc. – see the judgments available on this Web page).

(Note: Separate proposed out of Court settlements are pending Court approval regarding StubHub Canada Ltd, StubHub Inc., Vivid Seats LLC, SeatGeek Inc., and Internet Referral Services LLC.  Please consult our separate webpages regarding these settlements).

Indeed, on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 (corona virus) a pandemic.

It is alleged in the class action proceeding that on or after March 12, 2020, the above companies (Defendants), which operate very popular event ticket selling or re-selling websites, changed their refund policies regarding cancelled, postponed, or rescheduled events. For certain events or shows deemed as “cancelled”,  “postponed” or “rescheduled” after March 11, 2020, said Defendants refuse to reimburse within a reasonable delay the price paid within by their customers for the event tickets or other related services or products purchased (such as parking at the venue).  Some of these websites are imposing credits or coupons, instead of a refund.

Accordingly, if you live in Canada and you have purchased one or more event tickets from one the above-mentioned companies, on or before March 11, 2020, for event(s) deemed cancelled, postponed or rescheduled after March 11, 2020, without receiving a full refund in a reasonable delay, you may potentially be part of the proposed Class defined by the class action initiated by our office.

Should you be Member of the above Group, 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 retain copies of any and all documentation relevant to your claim, including photographs or screenshots of any requests you made for a reimbursement.

(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 motion to authorize the bringing of the 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.
