The plaintiff moved for approval of a class action settlement, class counsel fees, and a representative plaintiff honorarium.
The action alleged the defendants failed to provide timely refunds for tickets to events cancelled or postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The settlement provided $5 credits per ticket and a cy-près distribution to a music education charity.
The court found the settlement fair and reasonable, approved class counsel fees of $30,000 plus disbursements and HST, and granted a $500 honorarium to the representative plaintiff.
