An electrical contractor is suing Hotel Georgia Development Ltd. for $1,356,021 in unpaid electrical work on the Private Residences at Hotel Georgia.
Nightingale Electrical Ltd. filed suit against the development company September 23 in B.C. Supreme Court.
According to the statement of claim, Nightingale was contracted to supply and install the electrical scope of the improvement being constructed on the lands.
The claim states that Nightingale carried out the work, but that "in breach of its contract with the plaintiff, the defendant has refused or neglected to make payment, despite demand."
The suit alleges the sum has been due and owing since July 18, 2011.
Nightingale is also seeking a declaration that it is entitled to a claim of lien for $1,356,021 against:
--the lands, the improvements and the owners' interest in the improvements;
-- the material delivered or placed on the lands;
-- any security posted or funds paid into court in substitution for the lands; and
-- the holdback retained by the defendant.
None of the allegations has been proven in court.
