Quebec ruling boosts provinces in tobacco cost cases
The Quebec Superior Court awarded Quebec smokers 15.5 billion in a class action against Imperial Tobacco Rothmans Benson & Hedges and JTI Macdonald, a decision seen as a potential catalyst for the other provinces seeking about 120 billion to recover health-care costs from Big Tobacco. The ruling may influence nationwide suits as provinces pursue claims against foreign parent firms.
