Case Contacts
HDD suspension assemblies are incorporated into hard disk drives, which are found in electronic devices such as computers, gaming consoles, video recorders, and stand-alone storage devices. This class action alleges that certain manufacturers of HDD suspension assemblies engaged in an illegal cartel to fix prices of HDD suspension assemblies in Canada.
The defendants’ conduct is alleged to have inflated the price of HDD suspension assemblies, and of products like computers, laptops, and gaming consoles, for consumers and businesses across Canada. The class actions seek recovery of these overcharges on behalf of purchasers.
Case Status
This matter has been filed in London, Ontario. The Ontario and Québec Actions have been conditionally stayed pending the final outcome of the certification application in the British Columbia Action.
The British Columbia Action was certified by Order of Justice Coval on October 6, 2022. The Defendants have appealed Justice Coval’s certification decision. A date for the hearing of the Defendants’ appeal has not yet been scheduled. Further information will be posted as these matters proceed.
