B.C. Court of Appeal tosses case alleging Tim Hortons wage suppression conspiracy

The B.C. Court of Appeal dismissed a class-action lawsuit against TDL Group Corp. Over alleged wage suppression involving its franchisees.
The B.C. Supreme Court previously ruled that the 'no-hire clause' was designed to protect investments in employee training rather than suppress wages.
Lead plaintiff Samir Latifi claimed the clause aimed to control labor costs and was anticompetitive, but the Appeal Court found no intention to harm employees.
The Appeal Court stated that any wage suppression resulting from the clause was not its intent, which undermined the plaintiffs' claims.
