A second class-action lawsuit has been filed in relation to security activity and the corresponding arrests that occurred during the controversial G20 summer summit in Toronto.

A total of 1,150 complainants are listed in the suit, which is seeking $115 million in damages.

The Toronto Police Services Board, the Attorney General of Canada and the Peel police have all been named in the court action.

The claim was filed on Thursday to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

The court documents allege that the plaintiffs "had their constitutional, civil and other rights violated" during large-scale arrests which occurred during the summit.

Thousands were arrested during the summit, which virtually shut down Toronto's downtown as world leaders met at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Many of those charges were later dropped.

The suit hasn't been verified, so it's not clear yet if it will proceed through the courts.

Two Toronto residents, Miranda McQuade and Mike Barber, are named as representatives of the plaintiffs.

Both were arrested and held at a detention centre in the city's east end which was specifically set up for the summit, the document states.

In seeking damages, the suit claims that: "The policies, procedures, directives and orders of the defendants during the G20 authorized ... abuse of power, abuse of process, false arrest, false imprisonment, infliction of mental suffering, invasion of privacy and abuse of public office."

Police and politicians, such as Toronto Mayor David Miller, have defended the actions of police.

Over the weekend of June 26-27, thousands took to the streets and marched against a perceived lack of accountability on the part of the G20 leaders who had assembled in Toronto.

However, on the 26th, a few protesters broke away from the larger group and vandalized businesses and police cars in the downtown core. Later, police appeared to take on a zero tolerance attitude which resulted in many hundreds of arrests.

Most of those people were arrested under a breach of peace offence. But hundreds of those who were held were simply released without charges within a day.

This is the second such lawsuit in relation to the summit. Last month, a separate, $45-million suit was filed in connection with the G20.
