The plaintiffs in two class actions against Airbnb (Bains v Airbnb Ireland UC et al – Supreme Court of British Columbia Vancouver Registry File No. S-196303; and The Owners, Strata Plan LMS1104 v Airbnb Ireland UC et al – Supreme Court of British Columbia Vancouver Registry File No. S-179918) received approval from the British Columbia Supreme Court of a settlement to resolve claims in class-action lawsuits alleging their properties were listed, rented or licensed through Airbnb websites without their consent. Airbnb did not admit any wrongdoing or liability.
The settlements were a compromise of disputed claims and were not admissions of liability. The settlements resolved both actions in full.
The deadline for submitting a claim was September 30, 2022.
