Shell Canada Limited Class Action

Kugler Wechsler successfully represented the petitioner in a class action on behalf of all owners or leaseholders of vehicles that had used Shell gasoline during a certain period.

After the class action was authorized, the Superior Court of Québec approved a settlement that provided for the reimbursement of expenses incurred due to mechanical breakdown inspection costs of cars.

Kugler Wechsler, in not accepting the out-of-court settlement that was reached elsewhere in Canada, succeeded in negotiating for Québec members not only the reimbursement of expenses for the few vehicles that had a mechanical breakdown (which was the case for the out of court settlement reached elsewhere in Canada), but also inspection costs.
