Canada court waives C$1.13 bln deposit in Quebec smoking case

Reuters - UK Focus

By Allison Lampert

MONTREAL, July 23 (Reuters) - A Canadian appeal court ruled on Thursday that three major tobacco companies will not have to make a preliminary deposit of C$1.13 billion ($867.56 million) as they appeal a case that awarded more than C$15 billion in damages to Quebec smokers.

Imperial Tobacco Canada, a subsidiary of British American Tobacco Plc, JTI-Macdonald Corp, part of Japan Tobacco (Other OTC: JAPAF - news) Inc, and Rothmans, Benson & Hedges Inc - a subsidiary of Philip Morris International (Xetra: A0NDBJ - news) - had originally been ordered by a lower court judge to deposit the amount in trust with their attorneys.
