MONTREAL — In what is being described as a major defeat for the tobacco industry, the Quebec Court of Appeal on Friday upheld a landmark judgment ordering three companies to pay billions of dollars in damages to Quebec smokers.
“During the trial, the tobacco companies said it was the fault of the smokers, but for me it isn’t. They played hide-and-seek with smokers,” she said. “It is excellent news for victims who have been waiting for this day for a long time. We’re very happy with the result, clearly,” he said. “Today’s decision by the Court of Appeal changes a fundamental principle of class action law and allows class-wide recovery of damages without proof from even a single class member,” the firm’s managing director, Peter Luongo, said in a statement.
Line of the article: 'Imperial Tobacco, JTI-Macdonald and Rothmans-Benson & Hedges had appealed a ruling that found the companies chose profits over the health of their customers.'
How is this $16B settlement only going to Quebec smokers? It's a bad lawsuit, but why aren't the rest of Canada involved in the settlement? Don't say, only Quebec cares, because Ontario has more ambulance chaser then Quebec.
Why only qweerbeck!!!!!!!!!! Why!!!!!!
