Court Says Fox River Pollution Indivisible; Paper Mills Are Jointly and Severally Liable

摘要

NCR Corp., a company allegedly responsible for dumping polychlorinated biphenyls into Wisconsin's Lower Fox River, is jointly and severally liable for cleanup costs because it failed to show that the harm is capable of being divided among responsible parties, a federal trial court in Wisconsin held (United States v. NCR Corp., E.D. Wis., No. 10-C-910, 5/1/13).
