TUPOC will not be moving back to an historic Lowertown building after an appeal court rejected its latest legal bid.
The panel awarded the landlord $12,000 in court costs.
According to evidence presented in court, TUPOC director William Komer signed an agreement to purchase the former church and adjacent buildings for $5.95 million. The deal included a provision that allowed TUPOC to rent the property for $5,000 a month until the purchase was finalized in December. She found that TUPOC breached the agreement by failing to pay deposits totalling $100,000 by Aug. 10 despite two deadline extensions granted by the landlord, a numbered company represented by Patrick McDonald.
In an affidavit, Komer claimed McDonald told him the first rent payment was not due until July 15, a month after the group moved into the building. Komer claimed that he had bank drafts to cover the required deposits along with a $10,000 cheque for the outstanding rent.
