BROOKLIN --The Region of Durham has lost a case before the Ontario Supreme Court and must return over $3.1 million to a developer. In 1980, First City Developments presented the region with a letter of credit worth $2.1 million to serve as part of the $8 million cost of extending water and sewer services to Brooklin from Whitby. The company held over 500 acres of Brooklin land and wanted to develop it. In 1984, a year after First City chose not to go ahead with the project, Durham cashed the letter of credit to upgrade the sewer system anyhow. The confusion arose over a clause in the contract between the two parties which regional officials interpreted as permission permission to cash the letter. But in late January Mr. Justice Craig ruled that Durham Region must repay the full amount plus interest and full court costs. The funds obtained from cashing the letter have sat idle since 1984 and will be returned shortly. Regional Regional officials said that an appeal of the case is not planned.
