Sunrise Propane Explosion
UPDATED MARCH 25, 2010
As part of a collaborative effort between the six law firms, a comprehensive statement of claim has been served and filed. Please click here to view this statement of claim as amended. You will note that the statement of claim does not include the City of Toronto as a defendant.
We did not add the City of Toronto as a defendant to the action because we believed that there were no grounds in law to add them as a party at this time.
Prior to the issuing of the comprehensive claim, the collaborating law firms had issued individual actions naming the City of Toronto. On February 8, 2010, at our request, the Court discontinued those actions.
The class members wishing to sue the City of Toronto themselves, must do so within two years of February 8, 2010, that is, February 8, 2012, or their action cannot proceed. Our firm does not intend at this time to sue the City of Toronto.
We have decided that there is sufficient evidence against the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) and we have obtained a court order to add TSSA as a defendant.
On November 9, 2009, we obtained a court order from Mr. Justice Cullity, who is case-managing the class action, whereby he directed that the certification motion proceed ahead of any other motions.
The certification motion will now be heard on November 29, 30 and December 1 and 2, 2010.
The Fire Marshall has not yet reported on the cause of the accident although we expect his report shortly.
