On April 2, 2009, the Honourable Mark G. Peacock, J.S.C. will be asked to approve a settlement of a Class Action that Kugler Kandestin has been handling against Joseph Élie Ltée.

The Class Action was instituted on behalf of customers of Joseph Élie Ltée who we alleged had paid for heating oil that was not actually delivered. Two independent contractors who were responsible for delivering heating oil to customers of Joseph Élie Ltée were accused of and pleaded guilty to diverting a certain volume of heating oil away from the customers' oil tanks during the period from January 5, 2006 to March 27, 2007.

Please click on the links below to read the proposed Settlement Agreement, the Notice published in the newspaper to inform class members of a Hearing that will take place to determine whether the proposed Settlement Agreement will be approved, and the amended Motion for Authorization to Institute a Class Action and to Obtain the Status of Representative.
