The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia has approved a settlement in the class-action lawsuit involving a crash landing of an Air Canada flight in Halifax more than a decade ago. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe says 25 of 133 passengers on board Air Canada Flight 624 from Toronto were injured when the airplane struck power lines during a snowstorm at Halifax Stanfield in March, 2015, causing the plane to land about 200 metres short of the runway. Under the terms of the settlement, Air Canada, Nav Canada and the Halifax International Airport Authority are to pay a total of $18.07-million to settle the class action, which includes legal fees and expenses. Air Canada will pay the bulk of the settlement -- more than $15-million. Nav Canada, the country's air navigation service provider, will pay $2-million while the Halifax airport authority's share is $1-million. The settlement agreement does not include any admission or finding of liability by the defendants. Ray Wagner, founder of Wagners, one of three law firms representing passengers, said lawyers spent three years trying to gain access to the plane's cockpit voice recording, a case that they eventually won.
