Settlement reached in Northstar TCE class action

A settlement was reached today in a class action brought on behalf of Cambridge residents against Northstar Aerospace, Inc. and Northstar Aerospace (Canada) Inc. in respect of alleged contamination of Trichloroethylene ("TCE") in the proximity of Northstar's Bishop Street plant.

Class Counsel are very pleased with the settlement which, if approved by the Court, will result in significant compensation being distributed to area residents. "This is an excellent result in a very challenging case" says Matthew Baer, one of the counsel responsible for negotiating the settlement. "Under the terms of the settlement, eligible residents will receive compensation based on the extent to which they were adversely impacted by the contamination".

A town hall meeting is being organized for early June to explain details of the settlement to Class Members and to answer any questions.

The plaintiff class in this action is represented by a consortium of three area firms:
