Trailer Fee Class Actions Allowed to Proceed

An Ontario court has ruled that proposed class action lawsuits against fund managers can proceed.

The lawsuits involve different investor groups and are not prohibited by earlier class action certifications.

These firms appealed a lower court ruling from November 2024, which rejected their motions to dismiss new trailer fee class actions.

The plaintiffs did not obtain leave from the court to bring their legal actions.

The firms were targeted by proposed class actions filed in 2018 over trailer fee payments to discount brokers.

Author's summary: Court allows trailer fee lawsuits to proceed.
