The Leafs' bench boss successfully dismissed a lawsuit over a British Columbia hotel in which he invested.
According to the Globe and Mail, Mike Babcock was successful earlier this month in having a lawsuit against him dismissed in the British Columbia Supreme Court.
The lawsuit, initiated in 2011 by several plaintiff construction companies, was a dispute regarding the construction of a Holiday Inn Express in Squamish, British Columbia. Babcock was an investor in the project. The dispute was that the plaintiff's tradespeople had not been paid for their work.
According to the judgment, Babcock became involved in this dispute in October 2009, while in Vancouver (the Red Wings played the Canucks on October 27, 2009).
