Info class action
Acrylonitrile butadiène
Option Consommateurs filed a Motion for authorization to institute a class action on behalf of any person who has purchased acrylonitrile-butadiene (NBR) in Quebec and who has paid an inflated price as a result of an agreement aimed at fixing the price of NBR. The Motion alleges, among other things, that certain manufacturers of this product conspired in order to unduly restrict competition and to unreasonably increase the price.
This class action is led by Belleau Lapointe, S.A.
