Women who were sexually assaulted or harassed while working for the City of Leduc, Alta., over the past 20 years are now eligible for a class-action settlement of between $10,000 and $265,000 — the largest known per-person settlement ever in Canada, according to a lawyer for the plaintiffs. Two former firefighters who started the lawsuit last year say it is a huge win for women.

Class action payouts are treated as kind of a joke. Here’s your $7, only the lawyers get anything, etc. So it’s, I don’t want to say good considering the circumstances, but a payout that will hurt the responsible entity and make a material difference to those receiving is better than what you normally expect from class action suits.
