Attabotics is suing Canadian Tire Corp. Ltd. for damages, claiming a fire at the retail chain’s Toronto-area distribution centre was caused by “wrongful conduct.”
The Calgary-based robotics company, which specializes in inventory storage and supply chain systems, alleges the warehouse fire also occurred as a result of wilful misconduct, negligence and recklessness.
In a statement of claim, Attabotics alleges that the company is liable for damages it has suffered, including loss of property, reputation and market share.
