Important Updates

Deadline for Making a Claim:

The deadline to make a claim expired on November 7, 2022.

However, if you did not file a claim before November 7, 2022, for reasons beyond your control and still wish to submit a claim, please contact your Counsel before March 7, 2023.

Previous communications with lawyers do not count as submitting a Claim Form.

Payment Update:

The equal share of the Net Aggregate Damages Award (NADA) has been calculated at $5,469.85 CAD.
The pro rata NADA payments for federally incarcerated inmates were issued on or about January 17, 2023 by Correctional Service of Canada (CSC). The funds were deposited in the inmate savings account of each eligible incarcerated claimant (whose claim is NOT deficient). Note that if a claimant was released after CSC deposited the payment, the claimant will be provided with the means to access their money upon their release.
The NADA payments for non-federally incarcerated inmates (whose claim is NOT deficient) were issued on January 24, 2023.
Please note that certain provincially incarcerated inmates entitled to receive a pro rata NADA payment may have been issued two (2) separate cheques in order to be able to deposit the total amount in their inmate account (one (1) cheque of $5,000.00 CAD and one (1) cheque of $469.85 CAD, for a total of $5,469.85 CAD).
If you are deemed eligible to receive a pro rata NADA payment but your claim remains deficient (OR you requested a special payment arrangement and more information is required to issue the payment), the deficiency must be cured before we can issue your NADA payment.
Cash your cheque(s) immediately.

Please note that if you select (or already selected) Track 2 or Track 3, during the track selection phase, the processing of Track 2 and Track 3 claims is still underway. Only the NADA payments are ready to be paid at this time.

For further updates regarding payments, please visit the website periodically.

Track Selection Update:

The Court approved a revised Protocol on December 8, 2022. Due to changes in the Protocol (and the claims process), the track selection phase is delayed until further notice - we estimate that the track selection phase will resume in April 2023. However, we will update this website when the track selection phase has resumed. Claimants and Representatives will be notified when it’s time to pick a track and will be given 90 days to select a track. Please be on the lookout for such notification.

Address & Contact Info Changes

Please promptly notify the Claims Administrator of any changes to your contact information as we use what’s on file to communicate with you. When providing changes, please provide your full name, your claim ID (if applicable), as well as confirm the old contact information and the change requested.
