Thomas R. Bender, who blogs on Nuisance Law, recently posted an article entitled Pollution vs. Lawful Product: Nuisance vs. Non-Nuisance, which clarifies some nuances and distingushing characteristics between the Rhode Island Supreme Court’s decision in Rhode Island v. Lead Industries Association and the Supreme Court of Canada’s recent decision in St. Lawrence Cement Inc. v. Barrette.  A November 22 ClassActionBlawg entry shortly after the St. Lawrence Cement decision had been announced offered a somewhat superficial observation about the parallels between the two cases.  Anyone looking for a more in-depth analysis of the similarities and differences and a more thorough discussion of the claims and issues in the two cases should read Bender’s excellent article.
