Overview Of Claim
A statement of claim was issued in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Toronto on April 27, 2012, claiming declaratory relief, an injunction and damages for abuse of process, breach of contract, restitution and unjust enrichment.
The plaintiffs, Michael Dow, Gwendolyn Miron and Peter Teolis, are bringing the action under the Class Proceedings Act, 1992, on behalf of all persons who incurred tolls and/or additional charges to 407 ETR, who subsequently filed an assignment in bankruptcy and/or a proposal or consumer proposal under the BIA, and who were later subject to exercise of the Vehicle Permit renewal denial remedy by 407 ETR for those tolls and/or additional charges.
The Statement of Claim alleges that 407 ETR unlawfully uses its Vehicle Permit renewal denial remedy to coerce payment of claims provable in bankruptcy which are subject to a Stay of Proceedings or were otherwise compromised and/or released by operation of the BIA.
We are compiling a database of individuals who incurred tolls, subsequently filed an assignment in bankruptcy and were subject to the exercise of the Vehicle Permit renewal denial remedy for those tolls and additional charges.
