3 unusual facts about Hammerstone Project


Hammerstone Project

Both Brookfield and the plaintiff spent much of 2011 arguing on whether the trial should be held in Ontario, where Brookfield Asset Management is incorporated, or in Alberta, where the assets are located.

The Birch Mountain Shareholders for Justice began working on their case and on September 22, 2010 a lawsuit against Brookfield Asset Management was filed with the Superior Court of Justice in Ontario, Canada.

The defendant, Brookfield, filed a motion that the plaintiff lacked jurisdiction in Ontario with the Superior Court of Justice and Brookfield's motion was upheld by the courts, which also awarded Brookfield costs.
