A lawsuit filed by the City of Winnipeg against several companies over construction problems at its new water treatment plant has expired because it took too long to file a statement of claim.
The city went to court in 2015 against 10 firms over leaks, heaving roofs, failing generators and explosions at the plant just east of Winnipeg.
Civic officials hoped to recover as much as 20-million dollars if the suit succeeded, but the matter was adjourned last week when the companies said the city failed to launch the lawsuit within a six-year timeframe allowed for such action.
Winnipeg chief administrative officer Doug McNeil says a lawyer employed by the city who didn't check when that six-year period started and ended is no longer on the payroll.
