Ford friend's company seeking $500M from Metrolinx in expropriation dispute

Shane Rayman, a founding partner of Toronto-based law firm Rayman Harris LLP, said Craft Kingsman’s claim is not only “one of the largest claims” he’s seen in his 25 years in expropriation law, but it’s also unusual because the company didn’t legally own the air rights Metrolinx expropriated.

Craft Kingsmen acknowledges this in its claim but argues it was the “beneficial owner” of the air rights. It reached an agreement to buy them from the Canadian National Railway Company (CN) and The Toronto Terminals Railway Company Limited (TTRC) for $78.7 million in 2018. It then deferred closing the deal and making the payment twice, so it had not completed the purchase by the time Metrolinx expropriated the air rights in 2021 and 2022.

It's not surprising that Drug Fraud has scummy 'friends' whose favourite pastime seems to be scamming Toronto.

Time for him to be booted from office.
