TORONTO, June 25, 2021 /CNW/ - Corby Spirit and Wine Limited ("Corby") (TSX: CSW.A) and (TSX: CSW.B), is aware of a claim fled against it in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice regarding a proposed class action relating to black discoloration near the Hiram Walker & Sons Limited aging warehouses located near East Pike Creek Road, Windsor, Ontario.
