JANUARY 19, 2012 - UPDATE:
The Courts (ON, QC and SK) have all approved the following:
- The pro-rata distribution of the funds to all approved claimants
- The subrogated claim payments to the provincial health care authorities
The Courts must next confirm their respective approvals in matching written and duly signed Court Orders. Once the 3 Court Orders are issued and delivered to our office, we will immediately begin printing and mailing all cheques.
We will post a special notice on the day that the cheques are mailed. Possibly 2-3 more weeks left.
Cheques will be mailed regular mail, in a letter sized white envelope, to the address that we have on file for each approved claimant. PRO RATA DISCOUNT TO ENTITLEMENTS: Due to the high volume and value of claims approved for payment from the fixed settlement trust fund, a pro-rata deduction must be applied. Practically speaking, this means that every approved claimant will be paid slightly less than the amount indicated in the Decision Letter. No more than 10% is expected to be ordered deducted from the amount stated in the Decision Letter.
DECISION LETTERS: If you successfully filed a claim, you should have received our Decision Letter by regular mail in the period starting in the fall of 2009 and ending in August 2010.
The deadline for making a claim expired on November 2, 2009. If you failed to successfully make a claim before this date, payment cannot be made to you or any person that you represent, no exceptions.
