Roy O’Connor LLP has been working with Wagners on the class action  Dawn Rae Downton v. Organigram Holdings Inc. and Organigram Inc. On February 14, 2019, the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia issued an order certifying the class action.

The action was certified on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased from Organigram Inc., a cannabis for medical purposes that has been recalled as of February 14, 2019. There were two recalls of the products, on December 28, 2016, and January 9, 2017, due to the detection of bifenazate, an insecticide, and myclobutanil, a pesticide, which are not authorized for use on cannabis plants. The recalled products include dried marijuana and cannabis oil that were produced between February 1, 2016 and December 16, 2016.

The certified action alleges that Class Members did not receive the product they had bargained for, and the Defendants’ conduct fell below the standard of care, and Class Members should therefore be provided with a return of the purchase price.

The parties have reached a settlement of the class action. The Court must approve the settlement before it can be implemented. The Court must be satisfied that the settlement is fair, reasonable and in the best interest of the Class.  The hearing of the motion to approve the Settlement Agreement will be held on August 31, 2022 at 9:30 am AST at The Law Courts Building, 1815 Upper Water St in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
