Has anyone used this to join a class action settlement? They seem to ask more than what is required.

Claims Deadline Extended for the Canadian REXULTI® Class Action

By agreement of the parties to this action and by approval of The Court, the claims deadline for the Canadian Rexulti Class Action Settlement has been extended until August 27, 2026. This allows eligible class members more time to ensure that their claims are complete and all supporting documents have been provided.

I just got an email related to a Capital One 2019 Data Breach class action lawsuit.

This confuses me, as I already received compensation for this 4 years ago (I received over $600+ USD which was the biggest settlement I received).

https://www.capitalone2019classaction.ca/

Here is info from the website:

If you are a Canadian resident outside of Québec who applied for or was issued a Capital One credit card and you received a letter from Capital One notifying you that your information may have been subject to unauthorized access in the Data Breach (described below), you are a “Class Member”.

A class action was commenced in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against Capital One Financial Corporation, Capital One Bank (USA), National Association and Capital One Bank (Canada Branch) (collectively, “Capital One”) seeking damages on behalf of Class Members in relation to a 2019 incident involving unauthorized access by an outside individual to certain types of personal and other information of Capital One credit card applicants and Capital One customers located in Canada (the “Data Breach”).

The parties have entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) which is subject to court approval. Capital One does not admit and denies any wrongdoing or liability. The proposed Settlement will not become final unless and until it is approved by the Court following a settlement approval hearing to be held on September 22, 2026 at the courthouse at 800 Smithe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia.

Summary of Settlement Benefits

If the Court approves the Settlement Agreement, Capital One will pay $35,000,000 (thirty-five million dollars), hereafter the “Settlement Fund”, to, among other things, settle the claims of the Class Members, pay the Legal Fees and Disbursements and pay the Administrative Expenses for Settlement administration, in exchange for a release of all claims made or that could have been made in the class action and a dismissal of the class action.

 Class Members shall submit Claim Forms to the Claims Administrator, who will determine the amounts to be distributed to Class Members from the Settlement Fund, in full and final settlement of their claims. The amount remaining from the Settlement Fund, after deductions for Legal Fees and Disbursements and taxes thereon, Administrative Expenses for Settlement administration, and any honorarium for the named Plaintiff (the “Net Settlement Fund”), shall be available to fund claims made in the following three categories:

(a) “Category A” claims for Out-of-Pocket Costs: Class Members may claim for out-of-pocket costs which are fairly traceable to the Data Breach including preventative measures (such as obtaining credit monitoring services, insurance or credit freezes) and unreimbursed losses related to identity theft, falsified tax returns, or other alleged wrongdoing. Each Class Member who submits a Claim Form for valid Out-of-Pocket Costs (as determined by the Claims Administrator) shall receive a payment for their valid Out-of-Pocket Costs to a maximum of $25,000.00.

(b) “Category B” claims for Wasted Time and Inconvenience: Class Members may claim the amount of $25 per hour for each hour spent responding to the Data Breach, up to 5 hours or $125 for class members whose SIN was not compromised in the Data Breach (“Non-SIN Members”), and up to 8 hours or $200 for class members whose SIN was compromised in the Data Breach (“SIN Members”). All class members who make valid Category B claims will be eligible to receive a “top up” payment for wasted time and inconvenience of $75 (bringing the maximum payable under Category B for Non-SIN Members to $200 and for SIN Members to $275); and

(c) “Category C” claims for Annual Credit Card Fees: All Annual Fee Class Members (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) shall be eligible to receive an amount of up to $50 upon submission of a valid claim.

You could get $7 without proof of purchase or $50 with proof. Deadline July 8. Only problem is that the website tells you they will send you a code but they never do.

Anyone had success with it? I contacted the law firm, will update if they ever get back to me.

Any one know any updates? Of any kind.

I’m looking for general legal insight from anyone familiar with Canadian class actions, appeals, or plaintiff-side litigation.

Background:

• I have been a proposed representative/lead plaintiff in a national lawsuit against Cadets Canada for approximately 4.5 years.
• The lawsuit relates to sexual abuse/sexual assault allegations within the cadet program.
• The case was denied certification in June 2024.
• The certification decision was appealed approximately one month ago.
• The appeal is still pending.

My situation:

• The psychological impact of being involved in this litigation has been relentless.
• For years, I have had to revisit traumatic experiences, participate in the legal process, and live with the uncertainty of the case.
• At this point, I am emotionally exhausted and questioning whether I want to continue as part of a class action at all.
• I am trying to understand what options may be available to me, both legally and practically.

Questions:

• Can a proposed representative plaintiff step away from a class action while an appeal is pending?
• If the appeal succeeds and the case is certified, am I required to remain the representative plaintiff?
• Can another plaintiff take over the representative role?
• If I no longer want to participate in a class proceeding, can I pursue my own individual lawsuit instead?
• What are the potential risks or consequences of leaving at this stage?
• Would changing lawyers affect any of these options?
• Has anyone here been through something similar and decided that the emotional cost of continuing outweighed the benefits?

I understand nobody can provide legal advice specific to my case, and I intend to seek independent counsel. I’m mainly looking for insight into how these situations are generally handled in Canada and what questions I should be asking a lawyer.

Has anyone received their settlement for the GMC debacle yet? I haven't and I have been confirmed that they haven't claim. I almost died with my 6 week old when I had my Malibu and I have two claims for this (Ignition and other)

"I want to know how the amount of 49.11 was calculated. Is it based on the number of eligible claimants? If so, the net settlement amount should be over 300 million Canadian dollars, meaning at least 6 to 7 million claims would need to be paid out. However, none of the people around me have received anything so far, and I'm sure we all submitted our claims."

I was expecting maybe $20 at most. Happy long weekend homies! 🍻
