Loblaw Cos. Ltd. and its parent company George Weston Ltd. have settled their involvement in a pair of class-action lawsuits related to an alleged industry-wide scheme to fix the price of bread.

Lawyers involved in the case say the $500 million settlement was announced last year and executed on Jan. 31, but is still subject to court approval in Ontario and Quebec.
