The appellant's gas station leaked gasoline, contaminating the respondent's adjacent commercial property.
The trial judge awarded damages for remediation to a pristine state, stigma damages, a barrier, and prejudgment interest.
On appeal, the Court of Appeal upheld the award for remediation to a pristine state but struck the $350,000 award for stigma damages, finding no evidence of residual value loss once a property is restored to a pristine condition.
The court also replaced a mandatory injunction with a monetary award for a barrier and set aside the prejudgment interest to avoid double recovery, as damages were assessed at the date of trial.
