Summary of the Action

The class action was filed on May 20, 2021.

The principal conclusions of the action are as follows:

  • that the Court orders 2M Ressources Inc., 9107-3957 Québec Inc. and 4502175 Canada Inc. (2M Transit) to take the appropriate measures to put an end to the abnormal inconveniences for the neighbourhood caused by the operation of the recycling center;

  • obtain compensation in the amount of $3 000 per year per class member for Zone 2 residents from September 3, 2016 until judgment is rendered by the Court;
