No Harm, No Remedy: Limiting Principles Under the Ontario Consumer Protection Act
Jonathan Chen and Christine Windsor co-authored the article "No Harm, No Remedy: Limiting Principles Under the Ontario Consumer Protection Act", published in Class Action Defence Quarterly. In this article, Jonathan and Christine discuss Hoy v Expedia Group Inc, analyzing the limitations for class proceedings under the Consumer Protection Act for consumers seeking damages without providing proof of individual loss. They emphasize that consumer protection legislation is not a vehicle for seeking remedies that overcompensate claimants.
