Class Action on Behalf of Royal Canadian Legion Branches

Lerners LLP launches proposed class action against Aviva Insurance

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

June 23, 2020 – London/Toronto, ON – Lerners LLP has filed a proposed class action against Aviva Insurance Company of Canada on behalf of Branches of The Royal Canadian Legion across Canada (except in the province of British Columbia) whose insurance coverage for loss of business income relating to COVID-19 has been denied by Aviva.

This applies to all Legions who were insured under the commercial insurance policy issued by Aviva on behalf of The Royal Canadian Legions, pursuant to the PIB Provincial Command Insurance Program.  The action alleges that Aviva is in breach of contract when it denied the Legions’ loss of business income coverage after they were ordered by provincial and territorial governments to close their non-essential businesses due to the outbreak of COVID-19.  The proposed action claims for payment of loss of business income damages to those Legions with the Aviva policy.

Legions and their management with an insurance policy issued by Aviva that were denied loss of business income coverage, please contact Kevin Ross at kross@lerners.ca or 519.640.6315.
