Description: In this class action the Plaintiffs allege that Cadbury, Mars, Nestle and Hershey conspired to fix and increase the price for chocolate confectionary products sold in Newfoundland and Labrador and elsewhere in Canada. Such acts would be illegal under the Competition Act. The Plaintiffs also allege conspiracy and other civil causes of action on behalf of residents of Newfoundland and Labrador who purchased chocolate products from January 1, 2001 through to the present. - Miramichi Pathology Class Action
Description: New Brunswick pathology errors class action - Goose Bay Contamination Class Action
Description: In spring 2004, Canada wrote to the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador and asked for a moratorium on further agricultural leases in the South Escarpment area of Happy Valley-Goose Bay. This stigmatized the produce of the area, putting an end to farm sales. Tom Angiers approached us to take action on behalf of himself and others in the agricultural area, and in 2007 Canada asked us to include the Main Gate area and the Hamilton River Road area in the class action.

- What is the difference between a judgment and a settlement?
- I slipped at a department store about 4½ hours ago. I didn't fall, but I definitely pulled muscles. I don't know if I should wait until tomorrow to see if that is all it is or if I should seek medical attention tonight. Should I go to the emergency room or should I contact the department store and ask them if they have a physician I should go to?
- Can you sue for what might have happened?
