Overview of Claim
A Statement of Claim was issued in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on January
27, 2006, claiming damages for negligence, nuisance and breach of duty against
Northstar Aerospace, Inc., and Northstar Aerospace (Canada) Inc., in respect
of alleged contamination of TCE in the subsurface and groundwater of lands in
close proximity of the Northstar manufacturing plant located in Cambridge, Ontario.
The Statement of Claim seeks damages for negligence,
nuisance and breach of duty in the amount of $100,000,000.00 and punitive, aggravated
and exemplary damages in the amount of $10,000,000.00.
The action is brought under the Class Proceedings
Act, 1992, S.O., 1992, c.6 on behalf of a Class consisting of any person
or persons who own property within a three (3) mile radius of the Cambridge Plant,
whose property has been contaminated with TCE.
The Statement of Claim, which contains allegations
which have yet to be proven in Court, alleges that readings of TCE levels indicate
the existence of TCE in the subsurface and groundwater around the Cambridge plant,
far in excess of acceptable standards. The Statement of Claim alleges that the
surrounding public community is well-aware of the TCE contamination and that,
as a result, people living within a 3 mile radius of the plant have suffered
loss and damage.
We are compiling a database of individuals
who have been or might have been affected by TCE contamination.
