The plaintiffs brought a motion for a pre-approval order regarding a $500 million settlement in principle with the Loblaw defendants in a national class action alleging a price-fixing conspiracy for packaged bread.
The court granted the order, amending the certification of the Ontario action for settlement purposes only, appointing the settlement administrator, and approving the notice plan and pre-approval notices to inform class members of the settlement and their opt-out or objection rights.
