Skirt Mountain condo developer sues Bear Mountain
LANGFORD, BC — Victoria resident Ben Isitt has obtained a Statement of Claim filed on February 20, 2008 in the Vancouver Court Registry against the Bear Mountain Master Parternship (BMMP), LGB9 and Len Barrie, CEO of Bear Mountain. The applicant, QMP Developments Inc. (“Quigg at Bear Mountain”), is a holding company associated with Vancouver developer Robert Quigg, who Langford mayor Stew Young described as “‘the’ developer in Canada right now” in a May 2007 interview.
