Trooper successful in application against Thermo Tech Trooper Technologies Inc TPP Shares issued 18,120,364 Jul 10 close $1.94 Mon 13 Jul 98 News Release Also Thermo Tech Technologies Inc (TTRIF) Mr. Stan Lis reports Trooper has been wholly successful in its application in the Supreme Court to have Thermo Tech Technologies and Thermo Tech Waste Systems found guilty of wilful contempt of court and punished. In reasons for judgment handed down on Friday, July 10, 1999, the Honourable Mr. Justice Cohen found Thermo Tech to be in contempt of court and rejected the arguments advanced by Thermo Tech that it had fully complied with his lordship's earlier order requiring delivery of all standard certified engineering specifications, including drawings, regarding thermophilic plants, to Trooper. His lordship noted that Thermo Tech had resisted delivery of the materials sought by the company by raising different defences and positions, which defences and positions have now all been rejected by the court. Mr. Justice Cohen found that the evidence was overwhelmingly conclusive and that, beyond a reasonable doubt, Thermo Tech was in contempt and should be subjected to a substantial fine as punishment. His lordship imposed a fine of $25,000 against each of the Thermo Tech companies with payment suspended for one week on the condition that within that time Thermo Tech comply with the original order. In addition, Trooper was awarded special costs against Thermo Tech. (c) Copyright 1998 Canjex Publishing Ltd. canada-stockwatch.com |
