Sciscente v. Audi Canada Inc.

On August 1, 2022, the Superior Court of Quebec authorized the bringing of the class action against Audi Canada Inc. (“Audi”) further to an alleged data breach of personal information which occurred at some point between August 2019 and May 2021 (the “Class Action”).

Although Audi denies any wrongdoing or liability, a settlement was reached with the Plaintiff for the resolution of all claims pertaining to the Class Action (the “Settlement”), which Settlement was approved by the Superior Court of Quebec (the “Court”) on May 20, 2025.

To fully settle and release the Class Action and all claims related to the Incident, Audi has agreed to pay an amount of CAD $240,000 into a settlement fund, and agreed to also pay for all costs and expenses required to implement the Settlement.

The settlement has now been approved by the Court whereby all claims in relation the Incident have been definitively settled.

You are included in the class action if you reside in Quebec and

• your personal or financial information held by Audi was compromised in a data breach (data incident) which occurred on or before March 10, 2021, or
• you received an email or letter from Audi, dated on or about June 11, 2021, informing you of such a data breach.

You may no longer opt-out of the Class Action or object to the Settlement.

Formulating a claim under the Settlement is now the only available remedy and relief the Settlement Class Members have in relation to the Class Action and the Incident.

The Settlement provides for the following benefits for the Settlement Class Members (see below) in exchange for a full release of claims against Audi and other related entities:

• First, the reimbursement of out-of-pocket losses, costs, and/or unreimbursed expenses flowing from the Incident and/or from receipt of the Audi notice about the Incident, up to a maximum of CAD $5,000 per claimant, upon remittance of the documentation supporting the claim;
• Second, and if funds remain, a cash payment of up to CAD $200 per claimant.

If the total dollar amount of the claims under the Settlement exceeds the Settlement fund, the value of the claims to be paid to each beneficiary will be proportionally reduced.
