Federal Court has granted approval for a class-action lawsuit alleging price-fixing and anti-competitive practices

Toronto

On Sept. 25, Chief Justice Paul Crampton permitted the case to proceed, positing that there exists a plausible argument that rules put illicit restrictions on the pricing of buyer brokerage services. The respondents had petitioned the court to dismiss the claim, citing a lack of merit. Commission structures for real estate agents and their brokerages differ nationwide, usually involving a percentage-based commission derived from a home’s sale price.

Conversely, in Toronto, commission is five per cent on the entire amount of the sale.
