McCarthy Tétrault’s Canadian Class Actions Monitor reports on Lachaine c. Air Transat AT inc.
Catherine Martin, Marina Sampson, Solomon McKenzie and Rosemary L. Gasparro write that in Lachaine c. Air Transat AT inc., the Québec Court of Appeal reversed the Superior Court’s decision and allowed authorization of a class action for customers who had travel cancelled by Canadian airlines during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Court of Appeal authorized the class action even though the defendant airlines were implementing reimbursement programs to refund customers for the value of their cancelled air travel.
