About the Class Action / Mass Tort and Compensation

Restaurant Brands International Inc. (โ€œRBIโ€) is one of the worldโ€™s largest quick service restaurant companies and owns several chains including Tim Hortons. The Tim Hortons mobile application was purported to be tracking some usersโ€™ geolocation at all hours of the day as users went about their regular activities. Some of those users may have unknowingly agreed to the location tracking in their mobile deviceโ€™s settings.

Users of the Tim Hortons mobile application had reasonable expectations that the Defendants of the proposed action did not intrudeย  on their private lives,ย  did not trackย  and record their movementsย  or locationย  data,ย  andย  did not tryย  toย  profileย  theirย  personalitiesย  andย  analyzeย  their behaviours.ย  The Defendants violated these expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions


A class action is a lawsuit which provides a method for a large group of people with common claims to come together to advance one claim on behalf of the group. Class actions are more efficient and cost-effective and allow for groups of people with common claims to gain access to the legal system and seek justice on their behalves.

 

Class actions are typically handled on a contingency fee basis. This means that the class counsel are only paid if the class action is successful at trial or settled. In the event that it is successful, class counsel fees may be paid by the Defendants owners and operators or out of either the settlement or judgment proceeds, as approved by the court.ย
