Hammerco Lawyers Secure $12.5 Million Settlement in WestJet Baggage Fees Class Action

Hammerco Lawyers Partners Kevin McLaren and Alexia Majidi secured an eight-figure settlement in our WestJet baggage fees class action.

Following our success defending an appeal from WestJet to overturn certification, Hammerco entered into mediation with WestJet in late 2023. A tentative settlement was achieved at mediation, and on October 11, 2024, Hammerco achieved a court-approved settlement.

There is a 30-day appeal period for the settlement order, which ends on November 11, 2024.

Information regarding how members can submit their claim will be provided on November 11, 2024. Additional information is available here.
