A class-action lawsuit is seeking millions in damages for the alleged victims of a gas price-fixing scheme five years ago in eastern Ontario.
The suit stems from a Competition Bureau investigation that found gas retailers colluded to fix the price of gas sold in Kingston and Brockville.
Pioneer Energy, Canadian Tire, and Mr. Gas pleaded guilty to price fixing between May and November 2007 and were fined a total of more than two-million dollars.
In a notice of action filed with the court, law firm Siskinds says it wants the pump operators to refund any profits from the scheme to consumers.
