Ottawa lawyer Paul Champ said that the area covered by a proposed class\u002Daction suit against organizers of the convoy protest has expanded.
“You don’t have to do anything to be part of the class action,” Champ wrote in an online post about the Monday decision. “As long as you live or work in the zone, you are part of the class. If the case is resolved in favour of the class, there will be information released on how to make an individual claim.”
Champ said the full plaintiff zone contains about 15,000 residents and is expected to include “a few thousand” workers who claimed to have lost income because companies shut down during the protest. Newly named defendants are the U.S.-based GiveSendGo online fundraising platform, Harold Jonker of Jonker Trucking Inc. and New Brunswick resident Brad Howland, a financial donor to the protest.
Justice MacLeod’s 15-page decision, based on arguments presented Jan. 24, gave Champ’s team seven days to issue the amended statement of claim, which Champ said was completed Tuesday. The judge also ordered that the amended claim be served to the defendants within 90 days.
