Consumer Law Group Inc. announces the filing of a national class action against RIM for BlackBerry outage demanding refund of data fees

MONTREAL, Oct. 25, 2011 /CNW Telbec/ - Consumer Law Group Inc. today announced the filing in the Quebec Superior Court of a proposed national class action lawsuit against Research in Motion on behalf of individuals who have Blackberry smartphones and who pay for a monthly data plan but were unable to access their email, BlackBerry Messenger service ("BBM"), and/or internet for the period of October 11 to 14, 2011.

The class action involves RIM's failure to take action to either directly compensate BlackBerry users or to indirectly compensate BlackBerry users by arranging for wireless service providers to refunds their customers and to take full responsibility for these damages. RIM is responsible for BlackBerry users' loss of email, BBM, and/or internet service for approximately one (1) and a half (1/2) days, and yet it has not compensated consumers on a prorated basis for such loss of use.

Anyone who was affected by the outage should contact our law firm at info@clg.org or 1-888-909-7863. Alternatively, please complete the form at http://www.clg.org/Class-Action/List-of-Class-Actions/RIM-BlackBerry-Outage-National-Class-Action
