Trucking company sues B.C. city for $27M for effectively blocking access

Chohan Carriers bringing lawsuit against City of Maple Ridge for load limits on roads near Chohan property

Chohan Carriers is suing the City of Maple Ridge, and claiming some $27 million in damages, over the trucking company's inability to operate at a Hammond site.

The case was supposed to be at the Supreme Court in Vancouver this week, for a trial starting Jan. 6 and running for 34 days, but will be rescheduled. 

The city asked for an adjournment after Chohan introduced new financial information in October, and that delay was granted by associate Judge Kimberly Robertson in a recent decision.
