A proposed class action filed at the Federal Court of Canada

Am I part of this class action?

All individuals anywhere in the world from January 10, 2020 to the date of certification of the class action for Lufthansa flights between Canada and Europe, and USA and Europe.

The scope of the class is subject to approval by the Federal Court of Canada.

At this time, there is no action required to be part of this class action. A certification application will be made to the Court in short order.

 

Do I need to take any action to be part of this case now?

 You do not need to contact us to sign up for this class action because we will be asking the Court to certify this action on an “opt-out” basis. If and when the Court certifies the class action, you will receive a notification on what you need to do if you want to be excluded.

Please safely keep copies of your air tickets, boarding passes, and baggage fee receipts.

This information may be necessary after the certification of this class action. Please do not send us those materials at this time.

 

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.

Putative class counsel cannot advise you in an individual action. Please consult your lawyer if you plan to proceed individually.

 

Will class members be liable for the defendants' legal fees if this class action does not succeed?

Class members are not liable for the defendant's legal fees if this class action is not certified or if we do not succeed at the common trial.

 

When will I hear further information about this class action?

We will notify those that have signed up to our Mailing List on the next steps and when they expect a notice from the Court.

 

What are we asking for in this class action against Lufthansa?

The proposed class action seeks a refund of the difference between the price stated on Lufthansa's tariff, and the fee collected.

The proposed class action also seeks damages, punitive damages, and legal costs.
