We knew it was coming and it looks to be interesting. Centerplan Construction LLC, today filed for an injunction,essentially requesting the Court to override Mayor Luke Bronin and order the City of Hartford to return them to complete Dunkin Donuts Park. The 273 page document is below, as welll as substantiating exhibits to show Centerplan's side.
It will be interesting to see if this injunction is granted and goes down in history as the next major policy defeat for Bronin.
Much more to come on this
REQUEST FOR INJUNCTION
No court will ever grant this. Nice try though but shows their true colors.
ReplyDeleteHartford agreeing to binding arbitration would have prevented this from happening. I have a feeling this will drag on for years.
ReplyDeleteIs it a coincidence that this lawsuit was filed the same day as the Stadium Authority having a meeting on Arch Insurance and the surety bond?
Carlesso and Goode scooped yet again by this blog. Their editor ought to transfer them to the house and garden section.
ReplyDeleteKevin, I know it's none of my business ,but has the Courant or any other form of media approached you for hire? I know they don't pay well but you think it would be a matter of common sense by management to pursue you. And please don't get a big head ,you have been wrong on a few occasions.
ReplyDeleteI'm kinda likin' the signage of the park. And they did a good build out. That doesn't mean that this development was't doomed from day 1.

ReplyDeleteThat was funny.
So much for urgency even the court must not think so because the hearing on the tempoary injunction is not even till 8/8. Maybe by then Centerplan can locate actual signed contracts and notify their attorney that henri alexander is no longer the Corporation Counsel.
ReplyDeleteThey can't even get their paperwork in order and they want us and courts to think they were capable of something more complex like building a ball park?

ReplyDeleteYou must not be too familiar with our Court system, August 8th for the first hearing is actually pretty quick. There is a process that needs to be followed, including
serving notice, responding, filing appearances and motions. It doesn't just happen the next day in Civil cases it is not like you see onTV. As the saying goes, the wheels of justice turn slowly
