Mega : One of the key issues raised in the
Post# of 56323
What that means for us is really focused on Lakeshore and the promises they made. I say Lakeshore because this is the Attorney General, for Ontario only.
When Lakeshore agreed to allow the build, knowing what it was for, and then trying to change the zoning issues, that is what created the above term, ' DETRIMENTAL RELIANCE ' . That is why the 15 million dollar amount as it is the amount spent on the facility.
The other damage done is also addressed in the document , but, it would appear all about Lakeshore.
I think each party must be addressed separately as there are jurisdictional issues that have to be taken care of first.
IE: JR for H/C , NAFTA for Canada trade agreement , etc..etc....
JMO of course. Below is a example of , ' DETRIMENTAL RELIANCE ' issue raised. GLTA

Re: What is Detrimental Reliance
"Detrimental reliance" means taking an action based upon someone else's promise which, by itself, leaves you in a worse position than when you started.
In order to sue for breach of contract, you have to show the existence of a binding contract. One way to do this is by referring to a document signed by both parties, but another is to prove a variety of facts including detrimental reliance.
If A promises something to B in exchange for B doing something and B then takes steps to its detriment in order to live up to its end of the agreement, then the agreement is a binding contract -- provided that B took these steps in reliance on the existence of the agreement (i.e., B would not have taken these steps otherwise) and that B's reliance is reasonable under the circumstances.
