TORONTO, June 25, 2021 /CNW/ - Corby Spirit and Wine
Limited ("Corby") (TSX: CSW.A) and (TSX: CSW.B), is aware of a
claim filed 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
