Loblaw won’t face lawsuit over Bangladesh factory collapse after Supreme Court refuses to hear case

One of the country’s largest retailers is finally off the hook for the devastating collapse of a garment factory in Bangladesh six years ago. In a decision on Thursday, the Supreme Court of Canada refused to hear a group of Bangladeshi victims and relatives who wanted to sue Loblaw over the tragedy. The key issue in the lawsuit was whether a Canadian court had jurisdiction to consider the claim — of importance to companies that source product from abroad.
