This notice concerns a class action undertaken on behalf of RCMP members and civilian members who, during the course of their service in the RCMP, were victims of abuse of power.
The Plaintiffs seek a judgement (i) declaring that the RCMP had an obligation to ensure the well being of its members by providing a workplace safe and free from harassment, retaliation, discrimination and abuse of power of any kind and (ii) that its failure to do so warrants the payment of compensatory damages, to those victims of abuse of power by the RCMP, the payment of punitive damages as well as preventative and remedial measures.
On August 15th, 2018, the Superior Court of Quebec authorized this class action. It is to proceed in the District of Montreal.
