The Class Action

This class action arose from the installation of Retrofoam in certain residential properties in Ontario under the EcoEnergy Retrofit Initiative-Homes Program.

The action was brought on behalf of the following class of people: all persons who owned or had an interest in real property when RetroFoam was injected or installed and who applied for a grant pursuant to the EcoEnergy Retrofit Initiative-Homes Program excluding the defendants, their subsidiaries, affiliates, shareholders officers, directors, senior employees and their heirs, predecessors, successors and assigns.

The Settlement

On August 12, 2015, a judge of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice approved the settlement.

Pursuant to this settlement, the defendants would pay the sum of $13,000,000 in return for a release and a dismissal of the class action. After the payment of all court-approved expenses, a fund of approximately $7,612,000 was set up for equal division among the owners of the RetroFoam properties.
