A class-action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of residents displaced from a St. James Town property after a six-alarm fire last month. Lawyers from Landy Marr Kats LLP, acting on behalf of displaced residents from 650 Parliament St., filed the lawsuit on Sept. 14 in Ontario Superior Court and are seeking a $50 million compensation in damages. A class-action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of the more than 1,500 residents displaced by a six-alarm fire last month in St. James Town. The Star sent detailed requests for comment on the allegations to the other defendants — Bleeman Holdings Limited, 650 Parliament Residences Inc., 650 Parliament (LHB) Investments Limited, Parwell Investments Inc., and Wellesley/Parliament Square Limited — but did not receive a response. Earlier this month, two other law firms — Strosberg Sasso Sutts LLP and Charney Lawyers — announced plans for a class-action lawsuit seeking compensation for the residents of 650 Parliament St.
