    Catalyst Paper and Paper Excellence sue Enbridge over pipeline rupture

    Lawsuit filed

    Catalyst Paper Corp. and Paper Excellence Canada Holdings Corp. filed a lawsuit naming Enbridge and Westcoast Energy as defendants in connection with a pipeline rupture. The plaintiffs allege that the rupture was caused by the defendants' negligence and seek unspecified damages. The allegations have not been established by a court, and the filing does not represent a judicial finding of liability.

    Company response

    • Clarification — Enbridge

      In a statement, Enbridge said it had learned much from the 2018 incident and had completed a comprehensive review of its natural gas pipeline system in B.C. in order to prevent similar incidents and significantly improve safety.
