Tim Hortons Class Action UpdateJerome Morse and Lori Stoltz are counsel to two Tim Hortons franchisees, Fairview Donut Inc. and Brule Foods Ltd., in a proposed class action against Tim Hortons and The TDL Group Corp. (Tim Hortons). This legal action challenges Tim Hortons franchise-wide conversion in 2002-2003 from a full baking to a par-baking system, as well as Tim Hortons requirement that franchisees sell lunch menu items resulting in unreasonably low margins for franchisees. The Plaintiffs seek damages of approximately $1.95 billion on behalf of all proposed class members for alleged breach of contract, unjust enrichment, breach of the duty of good faith at common law and under the Arthur Wishart Act (Franchisee Disclosure) (Ontario), and like statutes in other jurisdictions, misrepresentation and price maintenance in breach of the Competition Act (Canada).
