AAR Announces Favorable Ruling In Michigan Environmental Case
The Court's decision, following a 12-day trial that ended in February 2009, upheld the Company's position by holding that the evidence did not establish that there was a release of contaminants at or near the Cadillac facility since the date of the 1985 consent decree that was previously agreed to by the parties. The Court further held that there was no relevant evidence suggesting that the Company was not in full compliance with the 1985 consent decree. AAR stated that it intends to seek from the MDEQ the reimbursement of the Company's costs and expenses incurred in this litigation.
The decision is consistent with the Company's long-standing commitment to assuring that each of its businesses operates in an environmentally and socially responsible manner and in compliance with governing rules and regulations.
