Tim Hortons, Starbucks, and Second Cup · Coffee and other beverages with plant-based milk substitutions · Ongoing Litigation

About this case

A Quebec class action alleges that Starbucks, Second Cup, and Tim Hortons charged consumers excessive surcharges for plant-based milk substitutions. The authorized class covers Quebec consumers charged for non-dairy substitutes during specified periods from December 30, 2021, through 2025, and seeks an injunction, reimbursement, and punitive damages; the court's approval allows the case to proceed without deciding whether the companies acted unlawfully.
