"A lawyer for the defunct railroad at the center of the Lac-Megantic train derailment said Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. is acting deplorably and offensively by attempting to shut down proceedings to distribute over $430 million to victims and creditors of the 2013 tragedy.
Patrice Benoit told Quebec Superior Court Justice Gaetan Dumas on Monday if he accepts arguments by the railway, the settlement fund for victims of the train disaster “and everything else we did for two years would end in failure.”
At least two dozen lawyers are attending the hearing Monday in a large courtroom in Sherbrooke, Que."
