Firm "categorically" denied wrongdoing after it was added to lawsuit filed against former Irving employee
LEVIS, Que.—Davie shipyards has fired back at rival Irving Shipbuilding Inc. over its inclusion in a lawsuit claiming a former employee disseminated classified information.
Chantier Davie Canada Inc. issued a statement where it “categorically” denied rival Irving’s allegations after Irving announced plans to amend a class action lawsuit to include Davie in its legal proceedings.
“Davie intends to rigorously defend against these allegations, if and when Irving is granted an order adding Davie as a defendant,” the company said in a statement. “Davie is confident that the court will find in its favour.”
Irving applied this week to amend the statement of claim filed with the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia.
None of the allegations have been tested in a court of law.
