The Montreal law firm IMK LLP filed an application for authorization to institute a class action in Quebec Superior Court Thursday. The application — the first step in launching a class action — must be approved by the court before it can proceed. This Facebook job ad for Ikea is one of the ads cited in the application for the class action. Some of the job ads cited by CBC News that were microtargeted by age are also cited in the 24-page class action application filed Thursday. It could be months before it's known whether the Quebec Superior Court will certify the class action.
