B.C. Lawsuit Against Parking App Settled, 35 Cent Payout for Members
The $463,120 deal will send 35-cent payouts to 992,400 class members through promotional codes, while Honk denies any wrongdoing.
- Toronto-Based Honk Mobile Inc. settled a class-action lawsuit for nearly $500,000, addressing claims the parking platform violated Canada's Competition Act by charging undisclosed service fees.
- Plaintiff Tyson Larence alleged the company was "unjustly enriched" by hidden service fees, though Honk denies these claims and has not admitted any wrongdoing or liability.
- The agreement provides $463,120 in total benefits, with $347,340 funding $0.35 credits for each class member and $115,780 payable to counsel; promotional codes expire Dec. 31, 2027.
- B.C. Supreme Court Justice Shannon P. Ramsay approved the settlement as "fair, reasonable, and in the best interests" of the class, despite 92 opt-outs and two objections.
- This case follows a landmark ruling against Cineplex Inc. regarding deceptive marketing practices, with class-action lawsuits for similar "drip pricing" allegations now certified against Hopper Inc. and Intuit TurboTax.
