Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (TSX:CM). Down 13 cents, or 0.23 per cent, to $55.85. CIBC has agreed to pay a total of $153 million to settle a class-action lawsuit filed more than a decade ago over the bank's overtime policies, lawyers for the plaintiffs said. Dara Fresco, a former CIBC teller and class counsel, brought this case in 2007. The Ontario Court of Appeal dismissed last year an attempt by the bank to overturn a lower-court ruling in favour of the class-action case on behalf of about 31,000 retail bank employees. Fresco said the settlement is a fair compromise that will bring meaningful compensation to thousands of class members.
