Metro accuses Loblaw of falsely implicating it in bread price-fixing scheme | CityNews Calgary

In new courtroom filings, Metro Inc. is accusing Loblaw Cos. Ltd. and its mum or dad firm of conspiring to implicate Metro in an alleged bread price-fixing scheme.

Metro has submitted an announcement of defence and crossclaim in Ontario Superior Court, responding to a class-action lawsuit that implicates it and a number of other different grocers within the alleged conspiracy.

The grocer denies being concerned in bread price-fixing, which can also be the topic of a federal Competition Bureau investigation. 

Loblaw stated the allegations by Metro are ridiculous and unfaithful. 

Bakery provider Canada Bread Co. just lately filed its personal assertion of defence within the class-action go well with, through which it denied collaborating in a wide-ranging conspiracy to repair the value of bread. 

In June, Canada Bread admitted to 4 counts of price-fixing below the Competition Act and was fined $50 million.
