Alexandre Lafrance, who filed the complaint with the Superior Court of Quebec, made the purchase last May of a Lenovo brand computer thinking of getting a bargain.
The list price was $3079, but thanks to a monster discount, the computer came back to him at $1120.
Only, Mr. Lafrance would have been misled, because the model of this computer in question would never have been displayed at $3079.
The document filed in court states that: “Defendants engaged in a prohibited and contrary business practice […] to the Consumer Protection Act of Quebec. […] The defendants falsely indicated a price reduction”.
At this time, the class action claim has not yet been authorized.
