How one Montrealer picked a fight about junk mail and changed Canadian consumer rights

MR. JEAN MARC RICHARD HAS WON A CASH PRIZE OF $833,337! In 1999, a letter with this claim from Time Magazine lands in a Montreal man’s mailbox. But according to the fine print, he's not actually a winner. Jean Marc Richard, feeling determined to get his promised payout, launches a court battle with one of North America’s biggest publishers. This week, This is Montreal shares an episode of the new CBC podcast See You in Court. Host Falen Johnson and journalist Craig Desson rip open the case of Richard v Time to uncover one man’s quest for an elusive cash prize that somehow escalates into a Supreme Court battle over misleading advertising, setting a standard that is still in use today.
