Class Action against Attorney General of Québec for Unlawfully Detained Persons
Update: September 5, 2024 – Filing of Class Action
On September 5, 2024, following the Superior Court of Québec’s authorization of a class action filed by Kugler Kandestin LLP and Coupal Chauvelot S.A. against the Attorney General of Québec for persons who were unlawfully detained in Québec, we filed the class action lawsuit (available in French only) with the Court.
The class action is for the benefit of the following group of people:
“All persons in Quebec who have been unlawfully detained, either on the basis of a document that does not comply with a court order, or at the end of a prison term, or after a court ordered their release, including but not limited to persons identified in the Attorney General of Quebec’s register of unlawfully detained persons.” [Translation]
You can access further details about this class action by consulting the full-length Notice to members and the abridged Notice to members approved by the Court.
If you have been illegally detained or believe that you are a member of this class action, we encourage you to speak with one of the lawyers below.
