Some Tainted Groundwater Claims Valid Against Bankrupt Company, Panel Says

SAN FRANCISCO - An appeals panel in California in a Feb. 19 unpublished opinion partially affirmed and partially reversed a groundwater contamination ruling against a bankrupt company based on evidence that was "substantively identical" to that involving one of the co-defendants. The panel said that claims for declaratory relief and violation of the state health and safety code were valid (Orange County Water District v. Radioshack Corporation, No. D075111, Calif. App., 4th Dist., Div. 1, 2918 Cal. App. Unpub. LEXIS 1179).
