Chocolate

This class action alleges that the Defendants unlawfully conspired to raise, maintain, fix, and/or stabilize prices at which Chocolate Products were sold in Canada. The term “Chocolate Products” refers to any and all chocolate confectionary products of the Defendants.

The plaintiff alleges that from at least February 1, 2001 to November 28, 2007, the Defendants and their senior executives participated in illegal and secretive meetings and made agreements relating to price targets, specific price increases, market share divisions and production capacity for Chocolate Products.

Settlements have been reached with two sets of Defendants: Cadbury Adams Canada Inc. and Cadbury Holdings Limited (formerly known as Cadbury Schweppes PLC), and ITWAL Limited. The settlements are subject to court approval in Ontario, British Columbia and Quebec. A motion to approve the settlements will be heard by the Ontario Court in the City of Toronto on April 21, 2010 at 10:00 a.m., the British Columbia Court in the City of Vancouver on May 25, 2010 at 10:00 a.m., and the Superior Court of Quebec in Quebec City on June 8, 2010 at 9:30 a.m.
