MONTREAL – The law firm Paquette Gadler Inc. filed a request on behalf of Marie-Josée Langlois Vinet “for authorization to institute a class action against Bell Canada,” a press release announced yesterday.
The request claims Bell conducted door-to-door and other sales activities without the proper permits.
More specifically, the claim is that Bell “carried out itinerant merchant activities through Bell Canada employees, representatives or subcontractors without having the permits required by law, thus contravening to the dispositions of the Consumer Protection Act, its Application Regulations and the Civil Code of Quebec,” the release explains.
The class action is relevant to those in Quebec “who contracted or renewed a subscription to residential telephone services and/or Internet services and/or television services from Bell Canada through an employee or representative of Bell Canada or one of its subcontractors,” following door-to-door or other activities outside of permanent Bell Canada establishments from “June 23, 2018, to the date of final judgment to be entered in this proceeding,” the release says.
A Bell spokesperson told to Cartt.ca via email the company has not been served with the claim yet but regardless does not comment on any matters before the courts.
