Eligible Canadians can make a claim for up to a $15 gift card to Dollarama if the settlement is approved by a judge at a hearing set for April 9.
The plaintiff in the suit — Montreal firm LPC Avocats — claimed the company displayed incorrect prices for products that were subject to an “Environmental Handling Fee ,” including batteries, electronic products, light bulbs and toys with batteries.
Joey Zukran, founding attorney at LPC Avocats told Global News the lawsuit was launched about a year ago because the company was making a technical violation of Quebec’s Consumer Protection Act. “Just like all other retailers, Dollarama charges for eco fees where appropriate, but given our fixed product price points, we displayed our retail price and eco fee separately,” the company wrote. “Dollarama and class counsel have agreed to settle the claim related to our price display practices for applicable products where eco fees need to be collected.”
