The long awaited Judgment of the Superior Court of Justice in the case of Smith v. Inco, 2010 ONSC 3790, was released on July 6, 2010.   Briefly, the Plaintiffs, owners of properties in the Port Colborne area sued for diminution in value, as a result of the contamination of their lands with nickel from the adjacent Inco smelter.   The Court relied on many of the principals for both the founding of damages and the calculation thereof, as set out in Michael Hebert’s January 3, 2002 decision in Tridan v. Shell, underscoring once again the significance of this case in Ontario Environmental Law.
