PHILADELPHIA, June 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Angeion Group announced that a lawsuit involving WestRock CP, LLC and West Point Chips, Inc., ("Defendants") has been certified by the Court to proceed as a class action and your rights may be affected. The lawsuit is in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Richmond Division, and is called Ashton Bell et al. v. WestRock CP, LLC et al., Case No. 3:17-cv-829.
The Court decided this lawsuit should be a class action on behalf of a "Class" or group of people that could include you, solely for the purposes of determining whether Defendants are liable to Plaintiffs for nuisance and/or trespass. The Defendants deny Plaintiffs' allegations and contend they have not violated the law or any applicable standard of care. No court has ruled on the merits of any claims or defenses in this matter. There is no money available from this lawsuit now and no guarantee that there ever will be.
Are you Affected?
The lawsuit includes persons who on December 15, 2017, owned or occupied property in West Point located one-half mile or less from 200 14th Street in West Point, Virginia.
What is the Case About?
The lawsuit claims that fugitive wood dust was emitted from Defendants' properties, causing a loss of use and enjoyment of property within the class area. The lawsuit asks for compensation for this loss. Defendants deny all claims and allegations in the lawsuit.
