Trio files defence in biodigester suit By Mike Williscraft NewsNow The Town of Grimsby et al filed its reply to the defence submitted to the courts in the $18 million civil action regarding the Sobie Road biodigester project. In the suit filed in July in Ontario Superior Court by the Town of Grimsby, Niaga-
ra Power Inc. (NPI), Grimsby Energy Inc. (GEI), Grimsby Hydro Inc. (GHI), and 1938427 Ontario Inc. (HoldCo.2), three claims were made citing former Mayor Bob Bentley, James Detenbeck and Joe Panetta as defendants. The claims, in part, allege Bentley, Detenbeck and Panetta were negligent,
breached their duty of care and breached their fiduciary duty through their dealings regarding a “failed waste-toenergy project”. In an Oct. 31 filing, the trio defended their position, largely, claiming their processes were open to the Town and shareholders (town council) and their ac-
tions were approved by the appropriate hydro board and council. The defence filing went so far as to suggest the civil action was launched in bad faith and the matter should be dismissed with costs. In its reply, the plaintiff submitted more detail to refute See REPLY, Page 19
