#Report

The officer filed report no. Supplemental Report to the Third Report. Responds to the Quebec AG's concerns about Epiq's unfiled weekly/monthly reports, removal of the 10% Variance Limit (budgets moving to quarterly court-approved cycles), and Epiq's request for approval of its activities, which the Plan Administrator does not support. Claims filings have come in at a much lower cadence than anticipated, and the Administrator sees no need to adjourn the September 9, 2026 motions.

Case update

Imperial Tobacco: Epiq's budget approved, its conduct request denied

In the Imperial Tobacco, JTI-Macdonald and Rothmans, Benson & Hedges CCAAs, Justices Kimmel and Piché approved Epiq's $19,958,210 first quarterly budget, its rates kept redacted, and declined to approve its past conduct; deriving its powers from court orders "does not transform Epiq into a court officer. It is a service provider."

Case update

Imperial Tobacco: the 10% tripwire comes out

In the Imperial Tobacco, JTI-Macdonald and Rothmans, Benson & Hedges CCAAs, Justice Kimmel granted the amended claims administrator orders and removed the 10% cost variance limit on Epiq, over an objection from the Attorney General of Quebec that the tobacco companies supported. She adopted the class plaintiffs' answer that there was never an approved budget to exceed, and said the search for a better trigger should have happened before the motion was argued. A point raised at the hearing means the new budget provisions now need their own motion before the Quebec Superior Court.

Case update

Imperial Tobacco: the variance limit, and the 138% question

Epiq's budget for administering three months of tobacco settlement claims is $19,958,210 — against a framework that put the whole of year two at $33,494,485, and on a claim count that came in 76% below the estimate it was built on. Quebec wants the 10% overrun trigger kept and the motion adjourned; Quebec class counsel say every week of delay is measured in claimants who die first; and the plan administrators back the amendment but refuse to support Epiq's request to have its own conduct approved.

Case update

Imperial Tobacco: rewiring the claims machine a year into the payout

Epiq's court-approved framework projects 144,371 claims and $91.9 million in administration costs against the $32.5-billion tobacco settlement. One day short of a year after the plans were implemented, the plan administrators have asked the court to rework the order that governs Epiq — budgets every three months instead of twelve, the 10% cost ceiling gone, and weekly claim tallies locked in for the duration. The Quebec claims window closes August 31.

Case update

Imperial Tobacco: who will run the tobacco settlement's foundation

The three tobacco CCAA plans were sanctioned in August 2025 with the Cy-près Foundation left deliberately unfinished. On August 7 Justice Kimmel signed three orders filling that gap — a management team, an independent executive search for the directors and the chair, a process for choosing which proposals get grants, and rules for spending the fund's capital and income.

Supplemental Report to the Third Report of the CCAA Plan Administrator, dated September 7, 2026
  • Operational summary Responds to the Quebec AG's concerns about Epiq's unfiled weekly/monthly reports, removal of the 10% Variance Limit (budgets moving to quarterly court-approved cycles), and Epiq's request for approval of its activities, which the Plan Administrator does not support. Claims filings have come in at a much lower cadence than anticipated, and the Administrator sees no need to adjourn the September 9, 2026 motions.
