A Quebec-based law firm is proposing a class-action lawsuit against Costco Canada, claiming unfair pricing practices for some online products.

Perrier Attorneys is alleging the wholesale retailer imposed higher prices for products sold online compared to those available in its stores, a practice referred to as “double ticketing,” which is illegal under Section 54 of the Competition Act.
