- accounting firms Deloitte & Touche, L.L.P., BDO Dunwoody, L.L.P. and Schwartz Levitsky Feldman, L.L.P.; and
- trust companies B2B Trust and Penson Financial Services Canada Inc.
This class action has been filed on behalf of every person who, on November 9, 2005, was the owner of promissory notes issued by Corporation Mount Real, MRACS Management Ltd., Investissements Real Vest Ltd. and Corporation Real Assurance Acceptation.
This class action is in the wake of the scandal that involved Corporation Mount Real and its related companies.
