Canadian Export Antitrust Settlement Checks in the Mail!

Canadian Export Antitrust Settlement Checks in the Mail!

By Kimberly Mirando

Top Class Actions readers are reporting they’ve received their settlement checks for the Canadian Export Antitrust class action lawsuit settlement.

A federal court granted final approval to the Canadian Export Antitrust settlement and its distribution of funds in July. Class Members began receiving their checks in the mail the first week of November 2012.

The Canadian Export Antitrust class action lawsuit resolves multiple lawsuits accusing some of the largest automakers and certain trade associations of conspiring with one another to prevent virtually identical, but cheaper, new cars from being exported to the United States from Canada. Consumers that purchased or leased a new car, truck or SUV between 2001 and 2003 were eligible to receive a share of the $35.7 million class action lawsuit settlement fund. The deadline to file a claim was February 1, 2011.
