Quebec real estate company sues U.S. government

Article Abstract:

Real estate company Mondev International Ltd of Montreal, Quebec, has filed a multimillion dollar suit against the US government. The company is seeking damages over a botched mall development deal in Boston, MA. Mondev alleges that the US courts acted wrongly when they did not force the city of Boston and the Boston Development Authority to expand its mall into a vacant lot in the 1980s. Using the investment provisions in the NAFTA, Mondev argued that state law shielding the redevelopment authorituy is dicriminatory and violates international trading rules.

PCB export ban breached NAFTA, firm says

Article Abstract:

S.D. Myers Inc. of Tallmadge, OH, is asking for compensation of $10 million after charging the federal government of Ottawa, Ontario, with breaching its contract under the NAFTA. The event was committed when the administration decided to ban the export of toxic polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in 1995. The waste-management company posted $10 million in losses because of that decision since it had to cancel orders for the chemicals from Canadian firms. S.D. Myers president Dana Myers indicated that Canada altered its position due to S.D. Myers' US loyalties.

S.D. Myers Inc., an Ohio-based company that removes polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) from transformers, has notified the Canadian government that it plans to take action to claim compensation under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
