Home » The Class

Nine Classes are included in this Settlement. Each of the nine Classes is unique and will have its own Claims Process that requires approval by the Federal Court. The Claims Period for each Class will open in phases.

The Claims Process for each Class will provide details on how to submit a Claim for compensation. Claimants who may be eligible for more than one Class will have to submit a separate Claim Form for each Class.
