This class action alleges that Bell Mobility's billing practice of rounding up call times to the next full minute was in breach of contract and consumer protection legislation and seeks compensation for affected Bell Mobility customers. The allegations raised in the proceedings have not yet been proven in court and the court has not made any decision about the merits of the case - rather that it can move forward as a class action to trial. Bell Mobility denies that it acted in breach of contract or consumer protection legislation and that it has any liability.
