Courtenay Mostly Mum On Tropic Air Settlement
posted (July 29, 2014)
While we had the opportunity, we asked Courtney about the settlement between Tropic Air and Brett Feinstein's Construction Depot Limited in the land dispute on San Pedro.

As we reported last night, both sides reached an out of court settlement. We learnt that Tropic Air will get to continue to construction on its new building and Feinstein's Construction Depot Limited will move to another parcel of land along the airstrip.

Today, keeping with the confidentiality terms of the settlement, Courtenay was very brief when we asked about it:

"As I said very briefly yesterday to another reporter, the agreement reached is confidential, so I will not go into the details, but all I repeat is that my client is happy."

Lands Commissioner, Wilbert Vallejos had granted us an interview on the topic in which he explained that the reason that both Tropic and Construction Depot managed to get rights to the same piece of land was caused by a duplication error. He couldn't be more specific than that at the time because the case was already in court.
