Sunquest Class Action – January 13, 2009

On June 23 and 24, the certification hearing was held in Toronto. Unfortunately, the Ontario Superior Court did not certify this case as a class proceeding. However, we are appealing that decision. The appeal hearing will be held on February 18 and 19, 2009. We will update this website following a decision on the appeal.

On November 14, 2005, our law firm launched a class action against MyTravel Canada Holidays Inc. and MyTravel Group plc on behalf of all persons who reserved a trip through Sunquest and vacationed at the Riu Resorts in Dominican Republic between November 1, 2004 and June 7, 2005.

The class proceeding was commenced by Suzanne Lavier on behalf of herself and the class members. The claim seeks damages for the class resulting from the outbreak of a viral illness at the Riu Resorts during the class period. The allegations have not yet been proved in court.
