Important Notice for Asbestos Exposure Claims in Ontario During ACL Insolvency Proceedings

Recent Developments in Asbestos Corporation Limited's Insolvency Proceedings



In a significant legal update for those affected by exposure to asbestos, Asbestos Corporation Limited (ACL), a Canadian company that dealt with asbestos mining, has entered insolvency proceedings. This legal status will have direct implications for individuals who might have claims against ACL due to asbestos exposure.

Background of the Insolvency


On May 6, 2025, ACL filed for protection under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act in the Superior Court of Québec, Canada. The company also filed for Chapter 15 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, which allows U.S. courts to provide aid in international insolvency cases. This move affects those with potential claims arising from previous asbestos exposure linked to ACL's activities.

Who Should Be Concerned?


If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with conditions stemming from exposure to asbestos mined by ACL, it's crucial to understand that you might be eligible to file a claim. This also extends to claims against General Dynamics Corporation and its affiliates associated with asbestos processed by ACL.
