Court approves settlement notice for Aviva class action from Ontario denturists
Ontario Superior Court approved a settlement notice for Aviva's class action lawsuit filed by Ontario denturists.Summary
The Ontario Superior Court of Justice approved a notice plan for settling a class action brought by Ontario denturists against Aviva Insurance Company of Canada. The certified class action arose from pandemic-era business income insurance claims where denturists sought compensation for lost income due to restricted access orders or COVID-19 outbreaks near their premises. After certification on July 27, 2021, the parties signed a settlement agreement in July 2026, and the court approved the notice plan on August 10, 2026, establishing a deadline for class members to object. Notably, the court order does not disclose the settlement's financial terms or resolve coverage disputes, focusing instead on the procedural framework for informing class members and managing objections prior to final approval.
