The lawsuit alleged that Honk displayed its service fee in a way that broke sections 52(1.3) and 54 of the Competition Act and misled customers, and that Honk was unjustly enriched by collecting the fee. Honk denies any wrongdoing and does not admit liability.\n\nThe parties reached a proposed settlement in which Honk would give each class member a one-time $0.35 promotional credit to use on its platform, for a total of $347,340 in credits. The proposed settlement still needs court approval. The Supreme Court of British Columbia certified the case for settlement purposes, and a hearing will be held to decide whether to approve the settlement. If approved, class members do not need to file a claim; eligible members will automatically receive a credit code by email.","administratorName":"None Appointed","administratorContacts":[],"agentName":null,"agentContacts":[],"agentClaimFormHelp":false,"classCounselName":"Slater Vecchio LLP","classCounselContacts":[{"type":"email","label":"","value":"sjj@slatervecchio.com"},{"type":"mail","label":"","value":"Slater Vecchio LLP, 18th Floor, 777 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver, BC V7Y 1K4, Attention: Sam Jaworski"},{"type":"online","label":"","value":"https://slatervecchio.com/class-action/honk-price-dripping-class-action/"}],"classCounselFirms":[{"name":"Slater Vecchio LLP","region":"All provinces and territories across Canada","contacts":[{"type":"email","label":"","value":"sjj@slatervecchio.com"},{"type":"mail","label":"","value":"Slater Vecchio LLP, 18th Floor, 777 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver, BC V7Y 1K4, Attention: Sam Jaworski"},{"type":"online","label":"","value":"https://slatervecchio.com/class-action/honk-price-dripping-class-action/"}]}],"submissionMethods":[],"sourceDocuments":[{"url":"/uploads/a64675bc215b2f4d0c04df9a-2026-04-01-final-executed-settlement-agreement.pdf","title":"Notice to Class Members"}],"shortFormNoticeUrl":"","longFormNoticeUrl":"/uploads/a64675bc215b2f4d0c04df9a-2026-04-01-final-executed-settlement-agreement.pdf","settlementAgreementUrl":null,"claimFormDocumentUrl":"","claimForms":[],"claimFormsButtonLabel":"claim-form","claimFormsUnavailable":false,"claimFormsUnavailableReason":null,"claimFormGuides":[],"optOutFormUrl":"","optOutInstructions":"The deadline to opt out of the class was June 15, 2026","objectionFormUrl":null,"objectionInstructions":null,"faqs":[{"answer":"The proposed settlement has been reached and the case has been certified for settlement purposes.
