Default Canadian class-action lawsuit

This is probably news to those of you South of the Canadian/US border but there has just been a class action lawsuit launched against 4 of the automotive companies, namely GM, Honda, Chrysler and Nissan with the possible future additions of Toyota and Ford for overpricing cars in Canada.
See the following website for more information:-

For the heck of it I have just priced a 2008 TCH from the Toyota Canadian and US websites. There is almost a $9,000 premium based on MSRP to buy a loaded Canadian TCH with Nav., over the equivalent US car, this is before taxes but includes the delivery charge. Since the Canadian and US dollar are now approximately equal in value there is no currency exchange rate to confuse the issue.

The class-action lawyers, Juroviesky & Ricci LLP, are planning to extend the lawsuit to include Toyota and Ford according to the above article when they get enough plaintiffs. I have searched around but have not yet found out how to sign up! Does anybody out there have any more information on this?
