The class action, which was authorized by the Quebec Court of Appeal on February 8, 2017, is intended to establish that Laval University and its employees, as part of their teaching and research activities, infringed rights recognized under the Copyright Act.

Canadian authors and publishers may be able to benefit from this class action. Please read the Notice to Members to determine if you are member of the designated class as well as how to opt-out if you do not wish to be a member of the class.
