Immigrant workers
On May 9, 2025, the Superior Court of Québec authorized the class action brought by the Immigrant Workers Centre (“IWC”) against Newrest Holding S.A. et al. for settlement purposes only. The IWC and the Defendants reached a settlement which was approved on September 19, 2025, by the Superior Court of Quebec. As part of this class action, the IWC alleges, among other things, that hundreds of migrant workers were victims of an unlawful system set up and operated by the Defendants, who induced them to work under the false promise of obtaining a valid work permit in Canada.
