Yeesh, all the Americans in this subthread getting 3 or 4 figures back from suits. Us canucks get like, $12 per.
I got $29 from the Intuit class-action suit. Yay. Pretty sure they charged more than that when I submitted my taxes that year. I was dumb.
I'm an American who once got $6 in a class action suit.
Most I ever got back from a class action was $70. In a settlement where the defendant was fraudulently overcharging for their product by hundreds of dollars.
The meagre payout didn't cover the amount I was overcharged by (by then I didn't care anyway) and the class action settlement was little more than a slap on the wrist for the billion dollar corporation because they earned more in the process of defrauding people than they lost in the payments.
