The lawsuit claims that General Motors of Canada Limited breached provincial franchise laws in eliminating the dealerships. Also named in the suit is Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, a major Canadian law firm retained to act for the Canadian GM dealers in anticipation of a GM restructuring. Sotos represents the former dealers in the ongoing dispute.
