Judgment Suspending Discovery in Quebec and Allowing Discovery to Proceed in Ontario
CONSUMER LAW GROUP has launched a national class action lawsuit against Blackberry Limited (formerly Research in Motion) on behalf of consumers who had a BlackBerry smartphone and who paid for a monthly data plan, but were unable to access their email, BlackBerry Messenger service (“BBM”), and/or internet for the period of October 11 to 14, 2011.
The class action involves Blackberry's failure to take action to either directly compensate BlackBerry users or to indirectly compensate BlackBerry users by arranging for wireless service providers to refunds their customers and to take full responsibility for these damages.
Blackberry is responsible for BlackBerry users’ loss of email, BBM, and/or internet service for approximately one (1) and a half (1/2) days, and yet it has not compensated consumers on a prorated basis for such loss of use.
