Flair Air USA Routes Class Action (DISCONTINUED)
will no longer proceed.
Le 9 juin 2020, la Cour fédérale a approuvé la demande de la demanderesse de se désister du recours collectif proposé contre Flair Airlines Ltd. Ce désistement veut dire que le recours
collectif proposé n’ira plus de l’avant.
Ainsi, tout membre potentiel du groupe qui désire faire valoir sa réclamation devra le faire sur une base individuelle.
Le présent avis a été approuvé pour publication par la Cour fédérale.
On March 29, 2019, a proposed class action was filed in the Federal Court of Canada alleging that Flair Air illegally cancelled confirmed tickets of passengers on various USA routes.

- Can I still commence an individual action (e.g. Small Claims case)?
This class action does not preclude you from pursing the matter individually in court. However, as part of the class action procedure, the Court may stay or suspend any individual actions or similar actions that are pending in order to conserve judicial resources and avoid both a multiplicity of proceedings and contradictory outcomes. Evolink Law Group cannot advise you in an individual action. Please consult your lawyer if you plan to proceed individually.
