MONTREAL, May 8, 2018 /CNW/ - Collectiva Class Action Services is setting the record straight that eligible claimants of the proposed Sixties Scoop National Settlement have the right to object to the settlement and still receive compensation, should the settlement be approved in court following hearings in Saskatoon and Toronto in May.
Further, the court has confirmed that anyone wishing to object to the settlement can do so in writing, in person, or by video conference on May 10th and their objection will be considered.
Late last week, Collectiva became aware that one of its representatives had shared inaccurate information about the objection process via email. An audit of all email communications was conducted and it appears at this time that three additional people also received an email with inaccurate information. Collectiva has attempted to reach out to those impacted directly and posted a notice on its website to correct the misinformation.
"This mistake is unacceptable and we deeply regret it," said Anna Vetere, Collectiva's Administrative Director. "We have taken immediate action to get people the accurate information and want to make sure that information is as widely shared as possible."
Jeffery Wilson, lead counsel for the Ontario claimant, expressed significant disappointment with the error. "The objection process is necessary and critical to the process of justice."
People who wish to object can still do so by completing the objection form on Collectiva's website: https://sixtiesscoopsettlement.info. Objections in writing will be accepted up until May 10th according to the court to ensure a voice for all.
People can also object either in person at the Federal courthouse in Saskatoon (520 Spadina Crescent E, Saskatoon, SK S7K 3G7) or via video conference at one of the locations listed below, starting at 10am central time.
