ORONTO — A group of women won final court approval on Tuesday for their multimillion-dollar class action against the RCMP over gender-based abuse and discrimination.
The open-ended settlement will allow each plaintiff to claim between $10,000 and $220,000 — depending on the severity of their situation.
“It is to be a non-adversarial process and contains the feature of a non-retaliation directive so that class members still working with the RCMP may claim without fear of retaliation,” Federal Court Judge Michael Phelan said in his ruling approving the agreement.
