Environmental class actions are actions alleging that air, water, noise or combined pollution emanating from a common source has adversely impacted a group of persons and/or their property. As a result, those impacted by the pollution may have suffered personal injuries, damage to their property, and interference with the use and enjoyment of their property. Such cases generally seek damages for negligence, nuisance, strict liability and frequently rely on environmental protection legislation. Siskinds LLP is currently lead counsel in a number of environmental class actions pending in Ontario and other Canadian province.
