The defendants brought a motion to strike the plaintiffs' proposed class action claims relating to the importation of vehicles from the United States into Canada.
The plaintiffs alleged that the defendants conspired to force importers to pay for unnecessary modifications and certifications by manipulating Transport Canada's admissibility list.
The court dismissed the motion to strike the Competition Act, Consumer Protection Act, and unjust enrichment claims.
The court struck the claim for unlawful purpose conspiracy without leave to amend, but allowed the unlawful conduct conspiracy claim to proceed.
The plaintiffs were granted leave to amend their claim for intentional interference with economic interests.
