SNC-Lavalin settles Class Actions over Libya Bribery
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Canada's SNC-Lavalin has announced that it has, subject to required court approvals, reached a settlement agreement in relation to class actions in Quebec and Ontario filed in 2012 on behalf of security holders. The Actions were brought pursuant to the secondary market civil liability provisions in various Canadian securities statutes.

The Company has contributed $88M to a settlement of both class actions.

In 2012, the Company initiated a series of significant changes and enhancements to reinforce its ethics and compliance procedures company-wide. These enhancements include, but not limited to, external validation of the ethics and compliance program by an independent compliance Monitor, who reports directly to the World Bank.

Its program is now considered by external third-parties to be proactive, robust and a benchmark in the engineering services and construction industry.

The Class action lawsuit settlement is another step in resolving our legacy issues and de-risking the future of SNC-Lavalin, along with signing an administrative agreement with Public Works and Government Services Canada under the federal government’s new Integrity Regime in 2015, reaching an agreement with the Commissioner of Canada Elections and with the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec in 2016, and reaching a fair and final settlement with Quebec’s Voluntary Reimbursement Program in 2017.

According to Global Construction Review, the case relates to corruption charges laid against the company after a three-year investigation into its business dealings in Libya.
