Found this update, but no ARMA case information:

Though rare, such fires can be extremely costly, both for users and
storage facility providers. Damages from two lawsuits related to a May
1997 fire at a Pennsylvania facility owned by Diversified Records
Services Inc. are now up to $65 million. The claimants in that fire,
First Union Corp. and Mobil Oil Corp., were awarded more than $20
million each almost four years ago after losing 156,000 and 68,000 boxes
of documents, respectively. But the amount of damages rose after the
state Supreme Court earlier this month refused an appeal filed by
Grinnell Corp., the sprinkler systems manufacturer involved in the case.

conference
