Tim Hortons faces proposed class action lawsuit over "Roll Up to Win" contest error

Global News

It's been less than a week since some Tim Hortons customers received an email telling them they won a boat in the company's Roll Up to Win contest, only to be informed a few hours later the email had been sent in error and it's left the company facing some potentially hot water. As Sean Previl reports, Tim Hortons says a proposed class-action lawsuit over the error has no merit, but customers believe they should get what they are owed.

  • Ahead of Xi visit, Chinese share of French EV market slumps

    PARIS (Reuters) -French government efforts to slow an influx of Chinese-made electric vehicles are bearing fruit, industry data show, highlighting one of the most sensitive trade issues when China's president visits next week. A surge in imports of Chinese electric cars into Europe has triggered EU tariff threats, which are expected to be a bone of contention when President Emmanuel Macron hosts his Chinese counterpart for a state visit on Monday. France did not wait for a European Union decision on implementing tariffs, instead redesigning its cash bonus scheme in December to exclude the purchase of models made in China, which had rapidly gained market share.

  • UPDATE 1-US appeals court says kids' climate lawsuit must be dismissed

    A U.S. appeals court on Wednesday said a lawsuit filed by 21 young people claiming the U.S. government's energy policies violate their rights to be protected from climate change must be dismissed, this time for good. A three-judge panel of the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said in a five-page order that the case should have been dismissed after the court first weighed in on the matter in 2020, when it said courts could not mandate broad policy changes that are better left to Congress and the executive branch. While the young plaintiffs have since trimmed the lawsuit to seek only a declaration that their rights have been violated, the 9th Circuit said lawsuits must address harms that can be remedied by courts and such a declaration would not directly help the plaintiffs.

  • Canadian miner Hudbay sees BHP's bid for Anglo boosting copper assets

    The CEO of Canadian miner Hudbay Minerals said BHP Group's $39 billion offer for Anglo American has increased the valuation of copper assets and could underscore companies' willingness to pay a premium to buy existing copper mines. Hudbay expects to launch a formal sale process for a minority stake in its Arizona Copper World project in the United States later this year after already holding talks with companies. BHP offered to buy Anglo last week, though Anglo rejected the proposal that would create the world's biggest copper miner, saying it undervalues the company.
