Telecommunications, Technology and Privacy Class Actions
Telecommunications class actions often involve consumer protection issues, including improper fees, deceptive billing practices and overcharging. They may also involve breaches of privacy arising from the unauthorized collection, use or disclosure of personal information.
As social media, digital technology and e-commerce become increasingly integrated into everyday life, telecommunications and technology disputes now arise across a wide range of industries. These cases require a thorough understanding of telecommunications systems, social media platforms and wireless service providers, together with knowledge of the legislation, regulations and industry practices that govern them.
We investigate who may be legally responsible, the nature and extent of the harm caused, and how many people may have been affected. This information allows us to assess whether a class action can provide meaningful relief to consumers and hold telecommunications and technology companies accountable.
Our lawyers have commenced class actions against major technology, telecommunications and social media companies, including Bell, TELUS and Facebook. We have developed extensive experience in this evolving area of law and are prepared to pursue claims involving:
- Breaches of contract relating to “talk time” or service terms;
- Deceptive or unfair business practices;
- Improper or misleading billing;
- Unauthorized system access fees;
- Violations of provincial consumer protection legislation, the Competition Act and telecommunications regulations; and
- Breaches of privacy, including the unauthorized access, use or disclosure of customers’ personal information or private communications.
