Judge allows class action lawsuit to proceed as former BlackBerry employees take on company

with BlackBerry through the latter’s QNX connected-car software platform, only to find that he would not receive termination benefits from BlackBerry, or retain his years of service.

At the time, the company said it was “confident we complied with all our obligations to our employees. Therefore, we believe the case lacks merit and we will defend against it vigorously."In a decision this week, Justice Michel Charbonneau wrote that Mr. Parker’s application satisfied the criteria for a class-action proceeding. The original filling claimed a breach of good faith, and that BlackBerry misled the workers with a transaction that circumvents statutory entitlements.

A spokesperson for Nelligan O’Brien Payne LLP said that the firm had advised others this week that they could still join the class action. In 2017, the firm claimed that more than 100 Ottawa-area workers were affected and as many as 200 elsewhere in Canada.
