Group Canada Ltd, Hachette Book Group Inc., HarperCollins
Canada Limited, HarperCollins Publishers LLC, Macmillan
Publishers, Inc., Penguin Group (USA) LLC (now Penguin Random
House LLC), Penguin Canada Books, Inc. (now Penguin Random
House Canada Limited), and Simon & Schuster Canada, a division
of CBS Canada Holdings Co. (the "Publishers") alleging they
conspired to fix, maintain, increase or control the price of
eBooks sold by them in Canada, contrary to Part VI of the
Competition Act, the common law and the Civil Code of Quebec

the Alleged Conspiracy, the price of eBooks sold in Canada
between April 1, 2010 and March 10, 2017 was artificially high,
and seek, among other things, reimbursement of the alleged
overcharges. The Defendants deny those allegations, and the
claims have not been proven in Court.
