Brantford Expositor – In late June, the developers sent letters to about 180 homebuyers saying that, having exhausted their legal options and with no prospect of the occupation ending, the company was scrapping the planned subdivision and cancelling all purchase agreements. The company has filed a $200-million class-action lawsuit against the Attorney General of Canada, the province, the OPP, the Ontario Federation of Labour, land defenders and their supporters. The lawsuit alleges material and reputational damage to the company and seeks financial restitution for Foxgate and the McKenzie homebuyers. Liske said the suit has not yet been served to any of the defendants and that the company has until September to do so.
