👉Canada has enacted new rules under the Competition Act to combat greenwashing, requiring companies to substantiate their environmental claims. The amendments, part of the Government’s Fall Economic Statement 2023, target misleading claims about the environmental benefits of products or business activities. Companies must now prove their environmental claims using internationally recognized methodologies. Violations can result in fines up to $10 million, or higher for repeat offenses. While aiming to protect consumers, these rules also pose risks and uncertainties for businesses, potentially slowing environmental initiatives, as noted by legal experts from Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP.✅ .

👉Despite regulatory changes mandating refunds for flights cancelled due to reasons beyond airlines' control, some Canadians still face rejection of reimbursement requests. A recent ruling found a couple ineligible for a refund as they cancelled their flight, which the airline had already scrapped due to COVID-19. The couple remains out of pocket by about $4,000. The complaints backlog at the transportation agency has grown to approximately 71,000, leading to drawn-out processes. Critics argue that withholding refunds during the pandemic, when flights were cancelled en masse, was unfair to consumers.✅ .

👉TD Bank customers may be in line for compensation as a $15.9 million class-action settlement is proposed for a lawsuit over repeated non-sufficient funds (NSF) fees. The legal action claimed that customers were charged multiple NSF fees without adequate notification. Although TD Bank denies liability, it agreed to settle after August mediation. The settlement awaits approval, with a hearing scheduled for Feb. 12. If approved, eligible class members will receive their share directly into their bank accounts, eliminating the need for further action. The lawsuit, certified on Dec. 7, 2021, revolves around NSF fees charged since Feb. 2, 2019, impacting holders of personal deposit accounts with TD Bank.✅ . 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚-𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐚 𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭!

👉Apple is set to pay up to $14.4 million in a class-action lawsuit settlement for Canadian iPhone 6 and 7 owners who downloaded an iOS update before December 21, 2017. Despite Apple's denial of wrongdoing, the update dramatically slowed down the devices, prompting suspicions of a strategy to drive newer phone sales. The proposed settlement aims to resolve the issue dubbed "Batterygate." While a fraction of Apple's worth, it marks a significant step for consumers. Executive Director of the Consumers Council of Canada, Ken Whitehurst, sees it as a positive move, stating, "When companies get really big, it can be hard to get their attention."✅ .
