Ontario Court Certifies Class Action Against Intuit
The Ontario Superior Court of Justice has certified a consumer protection class action against Intuit Canada and its parent company. The lawsuit alleges violations of consumer protection and competition laws.
On July 24, 2026, Justice Leiper of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice certified a class action lawsuit against Intuit Canada ULC and its U.S. parent, Intuit Inc. The action was brought on behalf of consumers who purchased certain Intuit software products in Canada.
The lawsuit alleges that Intuit violated consumer protection and competition laws. Specifically, the claims center on accusations that Intuit misled consumers regarding the marketing and pricing of its tax preparation software.
Certification allows the case to proceed as a class action, meaning that the claims of all eligible consumers can be addressed collectively. This decision does not rule on the merits of the allegations but permits the lawsuit to advance.
Intuit has previously denied the allegations and stated it will defend itself against the claims. The court's certification is a significant procedural step, and the outcome could have implications for the company's operations.
