On March 19, 2009, at approximately 2:30 a.m., an explosion took place in the electrical room in the building located at 3650 Kingston Road in Toronto ("Kingston Road").
The law firms of Sutts, Strosberg LLP and Falconer Charney LLP commenced a proposed class action against Deltera Construction Limited on behalf of all persons, who on March 19, 2009:
(i) rented or owned a unit at Kingston Road; or
(ii) ordinarily resided in a unit at Kingston Road; or
(iii) were present in a unit at Kingston Road but were not ordinarily resident in that unit; or
(iv) owned or had an interest in property located in or on a unit at Kingston Road; or
(v) owned some or all of the units at Kingston Road.
The explosion caused significant damage to the building. The residents of Kingston Road were evacuated and remained displaced from their homes for several months.
This class action seeks compensation for, among other things, damage to the unit contents and the costs incurred for living expenses. The action also seeks damages for physical and emotional injury, damage to property, costs of cleaning and restoration of contents, relocation expenses such as mileage, food and alternative accommodation and loss of employment income.
The motion for certification was heard on December 10, 2010. On December 22, 2010, Justice Strathy certified this action as a class proceeding. The reasons of Justice Strathy may be reviewed here.
