Sunwave was represented by Owen James and E. Pitcher, NOT by Andrew Wilkinson. The decisions can be accessed through the Courts of BC page. <br /><br />Mr Wilkinson represented Sunwave in 2010 in a dispute about the terms the City had set for Sunwave to access Watson Island to recover moveable assets that it had bought from New Skeena's liquidator. The City wanted final say over what Sunwave owned, and $120,000 a month rent until everything was removed. Mr. James later took over the file and there was a settlement agreement in 2013, which is recounted in 2019 BCSC 415. <br /><br />So yes, Mr Wilkinson was legal counsel on one file before turning it over to another lawyer, but to blame him for years of "agony" really is nonsense. Between that and the unkind remarks about Roy Jones Junior's name, this has not been a good week for the local NDP. They'll no doubt win the election but they're coming across as playing lose with the facts and also inclined to be nasty at times. <br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
