Loblaws had shirked responsibility for the deaths of 1,130 workers in Bangladesh are a result of a 2013 factory collapse. The garment workers were sewing Joe Fresh clothes in a criminally unsafe building.
Shame on Loblaws and on the Supreme Court of Canada who not only rejected the victim's compensation claim but ordered the victims to pay Loblaws one million dollars in legal fees. If you care about worker safety then please Boycott Joe Fresh clothes and Loblaws.

I don't know all the legal arguments brought forward that led the Supreme court to dismiss the case but this is very reminiscent to me of the 1984 Bhopal Union Carbide disaster where the little people also got screwed and ended up getting peanut settlements for their human and material losses.
