Court documents stamped “Legal Department Sentry Insurance” with “RECEIVED OCT 29 1984” on them, suggest that after purchasing controlling shares of the company, Sentry later sued select Harris-Crestline former shareholders for claims including “common law intentional fraud” and “negligent misrepresentation” that related to the Thomas Street industrial property’s pentachlorophenol contamination.
“Harris-Crestline had reason to know it had discharged penta into the surrounding grounds.”

Additionally, the complaint alleges “that Harris-Crestline had not taken any steps to eliminate the contamination and prevent further contamination.” (Page 8 of Court Document)
