Canada's High Court OKs Parking Meter Suit

Case ID: 5461

Amount At Issue: $26,000,000.00

Category: Miscellaneous

Last Update: 07/21/2009

Country:

Canada's Supreme Court has agreed to hear a Toronto woman's $26 million class action suit against the city for fining her for not paying a frozen parking meter.

Attorney Ken Arenson said his client was given a $30 ticket in Toronto for not displaying a parking ticket on her dashboard in the winter of 2007-08. The woman said the ticket machine was frozen and wouldn't accept money and she challenged the ticket.

Arenson said he came to the $26 million figure based on estimates that as many as 112,500 people received similar tickets since 1998.

He said if his client -- who happens to be his ex-wife -- wins the case, the award would likely go to a local university's urban planning department to study the city's parking problems and how to solve them, the newspaper said.
