Organizers of the “Freedom Convoy” that has gridlocked downtown Ottawa for the last week are facing a potential $9.8-million class-action lawsuit over continuous vehicle horn noise, filed on behalf of residents of the city’s downtown core.
According to a statement of claim filed with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on Friday by lawyer Paul Champ, the lawsuit is seeking $4.8 million for “private nuisance” and another $5 million in “punitive damages.”
The statement of claim focuses on the honking as one of the main “coordinated” tactics convoy participants have used to make their presence known, alleging that the use of horns as organized by the defendants has caused “significant mental distress, suffering and torment to the plaintiff and the proposed class members.”
The case is set to go to court on Saturday afternoon, as the plaintiff is seeking an injunction calling for an end to the continued “nuisance” being experienced by downtown residents that have now faced a week of disruptions due to the ongoing demonstration.
The lead plaintiff, Zexi Li, is a 21-year-old public servant who lives within five blocks of Parliament Hill, though class certification is being sought, with “all persons who reside in Ottawa, Ontario, from Bay Street to Elgin Street and Lisgar Street to Wellington Street” being considered potential members of the class action.
The statement of claim names Chris Barber, Benjamin Ditcher, Tamara Lich and Patrick King as convoy organizers, but also leaves the opportunity for up to 60 other defendants to be named, should the drivers of the semi-trucks who are parked downtown and blasting their horns in protest, be identified.

“on behalf of residents”
BS.
This same government couldn’t bend over far enough to capitulate to AntiFa and BLM.
Time to take out the trash.
It’s really very simple; you end your lockdown, and we will end ours.
Is that a Chinese name? Where are the citizens of Ottawa filing a counter suit for attempting to deprive Canadian citizens of their right to protest.
If they make them move they should move outside the city and not haul food into Ottawa. Let the citizens of Ottawa try to find food and fuel somewhere else.
they didn’t say nothing when the BLM thugs were burning buildings, looting businesses, toppling statues, blocking traffic, etc.
this is yet another organized smear campaign by Justin’s Ottawa pals
Solidarity defeats communism every single time. Stand strong, Canada.
So, a Chinaman is suing?
ChiComs funding the “effort?”
Trudeau is a petty dictator and can’t stand that the common rabble would dare to question his elite leadership. Liberal elites have nothing but contempt for the unwashed masses, but fail to realize these are the people who put food in our stores, stock our retail shelves and yes put those luxery goods on the tables of the elites. Trudeau obviously missed the history lesson that the nobles haughty disdain for the masses is what fueled the French Revolution. Aux armes citoyens
The chinks paid good money for their puppets trudeau and brandon. They’re not going to let Canadian or American citizens get in their way.
Other Noises
Ringing a bell, blowing a horn or shouting or causing unusual noise in a manner that disturbs inhabitants of the City is an offence.
This does not apply to the ringing of bells in connection with a religious service.
Penalties
Fines range from $400 to $10,000 per offence.
.
The Ottawa Police would be the ones issuing the citation.
I never heard of them issuing anything...
.
Let them starve. The liberal marxist clowns assume all good magically appear at their local Whole Foods. Let them meet reality.

Have canadians who support truckers join suit and donate their portion if any to truckers.
So if a union calls a wild cat strike, can anyone then sue the union.
I’d be pointing a spotlight towards this
twerps bedroom window nightly. If the noise
bothers him, I’m sure bright lights do also.
No horns, then no trucks. No trucks delivering anything to Ottawa. See, simple solution.
In response the truckers should do everything they can to mitigate any potential losses as a result of this lawsuit by Immediately STOPPING ALL DELIVERIES to the City FOREVER, they can Starve
IF YOU HAVE IT——A TRUCK BROUGHT IT——EVEN THE CAR YOU DRIVE.
WAKE UP !!!!!!!!
WHAT A REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE !!!!!
Go Fund Me is KEEPING the $9 + MILLION that was donated to the truckers & ‘will give it to a credible charity’ OF THEIR CHOICE !!!!
OUTRIGHT THEFT, IMO.
Residents hare complaining about ‘a week of disruption’.
Trucks are complaining about their loss of careers/trucks.
