The B.C. Court of Appeal has dismissed a bid to revive a class-action lawsuit against Tim Hortons parent company TDL Group Corp. over an alleged wage suppression conspiracy with its franchisees.
The B.C. Supreme Court dismissed the case last year, finding a “no-hire clause” in franchise contracts was meant to protect Tim Hortons franchisees’ investments in employee training, rather than suppress wages by preventing employee poaching between restaurants.
