Several class actions were filed across Canada seeking compensation, including the Thandi action in British Columbia (covering the 2019 incident) and the Zuckerman and Dahan actions in Quebec.\n\nMGM denies all the allegations and any liability, and no court has found it responsible. To avoid the cost and delay of continued litigation, the parties agreed to a proposed settlement of $4,000,000 that resolves all of these Canadian class actions. The settlement still needs court approval before any claims process opens.","administratorName":"Concilia Services Inc.","administratorContacts":[{"type":"online","label":"","value":"https://www.MGMDataSettlement.ca"},{"type":"phone","label":"","value":"1-888-959-5770"},{"type":"email","label":"","value":"MGM@conciliainc.com"},{"type":"mail","label":"","value":"Concilia Services Inc., Attn: MGM Data Settlement, 5900 Andover Avenue, Suite 1, Montreal, QC, H4T 1H5"}],"agentName":null,"agentContacts":[],"agentClaimFormHelp":false,"classCounselName":"Diamond & Diamond Lawyers LLP","classCounselContacts":[{"type":"phone","label":"","value":"(416) 256-1600 x345"},{"type":"fax","label":"","value":"(416) 256-0100"},{"type":"email","label":"","value":"darryl@diamondlaw.ca"},{"type":"mail","label":"","value":"Diamond & Diamond Lawyers LLP, Darryl Singer, 255 Consumers Road, 5th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M2J 1R4"},{"type":"online","label":"","value":"https://www.DiamondLaw.ca/MGM"}],"classCounselFirms":[{"name":"Diamond & Diamond Lawyers LLP","region":"British Columbia","contacts":[{"type":"phone","label":"","value":"(416) 256-1600 x345"},{"type":"fax","label":"","value":"(416) 256-0100"},{"type":"email","label":"","value":"darryl@diamondlaw.ca"},{"type":"mail","label":"","value":"Diamond & Diamond Lawyers LLP, Darryl Singer, 255 Consumers Road, 5th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M2J 1R4"},{"type":"online","label":"","value":"https://www.DiamondLaw.ca/MGM"}]}],"submissionMethods":[],"sourceDocuments":[{"url":"/uploads/d4d041f821b7295229698d7d-mgm-thandi-notice-of-settlement-long-form-en.pdf","title":"Notice to Class Members"},{"url":"/uploads/98328ae888c378773c8cd8ec-mgm-dahan-notice-of-settlement-long-form-fr.pdf","title":"Avis aux membres du groupe"}],"shortFormNoticeUrl":"/uploads/ce634225b2002ea5f2588831-mgm-thandi-notice-of-settlement-short-form-en.pdf","longFormNoticeUrl":"/uploads/d4d041f821b7295229698d7d-mgm-thandi-notice-of-settlement-long-form-en.pdf","settlementAgreementUrl":"","claimFormDocumentUrl":"","claimForms":[],"claimFormsButtonLabel":"claim-form","claimFormsUnavailable":false,"claimFormsUnavailableReason":null,"claimFormGuides":[],"optOutFormUrl":"","optOutInstructions":"The deadline to opt out was May 19, 2026 and has passed.
