Hollinger - Conrad Black Class Action
 

On September 7, 2004, Class Action lawyer Tony Merchant, Q.C. issued class action lawsuits against Lord Conrad Black, his companies, and other associated companies and individuals, on behalf of shareholders in Hollinger Inc. (TSE) and Hollinger International Inc. (NYSE).

“We believe the Courts will allow us to represent all Canadian shareholders, and potentially worldwide, from small investors to institutional funds, for the huge market losses suffered by shareholders. Regardless of whether individuals owned or have owned shares in Hollinger directly, through a mutual fund, RRSP, pension plan, or insurance investments, every Canadian and others, with a current or past financial interest in Hollinger will be covered by this Class Action lawsuit.”

“As Hollinger Inc., and other related Lord Black companies are located in Canada, many of the questionable transactions which occurred took place in Canada, and in the case of transactions involving Hollinger International Inc., often on both sides of the border.”

"Correspondence to Chief Justice Gerein of the Saskatchewan Court of Queen’s Bench is already underway, as the Saskatchewan system permits expedited and almost immediate Court attention in Class Actions. Early protection of shareholder rights may be profoundly significant if these companies experience ongoing negative pressure as further discoveries of wrongdoing emerge.”
