Guess Who Called?

On Friday November 2nd, 2007, guess
who called me? Lawyer #1. Well, actually
it was his secretary who called. She
called and left a message on my answering
machine that lawyer #1 had received an
offer and asked that I call back to make
an appointment to see him.

I haven't seen or heard from lawyer #1
since I had him review EWCC's first offer
back in April. That's three offers ago.
The last two offers lawyer #1's name has
been listed. So I'm curious as to why after
all this time, lawyer #1 is now being
utilized by the other side. Hmmm.

The third offer was made by East
Windsor Cogeneration Properties Inc.,
as oppose to East Windsor Cogeneration
Centre, who made the initial two offers.
My understanding from the Buckingham agent
is that the properties will be held in
trust by EWCP. I suppose that explains the
"offending clause." I hope I do not see that
clause again in this new offer. Because I
will not agree to have the lawyer prepare
the deed allowing the transfer of the title,
of my property to EWCP before a closing date.

Let's face it, if parties trusted each other
they wouldn't feel the need to put things
in writing. So there shouldn't be any
expectation that I should just simply trust
the other side.

I faxed a counter-offer to EWCP
lawyers, (which are the same EWCC
lawyers) and also faxed a copy to
their Buckingham agent. I included
with my counter-offer a cover letter
in which I explained that I did not
sign the agreement to allow for
negotiations. To me it made more sense
to negotiate, reach an agreement, have
it reviewed by a lawyer and then sign.
That was October 22, 2007. The response
it appears is to make another offer
through lawyer #1. So I wonder, if EWCP
is not willing to negotiate with me
direcly, are they willing to negotiate
with lawyer #1 or are they going to dictate
to him too?

In my post titled, EWCC Ready to Rock,
I wrote that EWCC's Buckingham agent
told me that EWCC had obtained a two
year lease with Our Lady of the Rosary
Church, next door to me, for office space.
Well, according to a Windsor Star article
published on Monday October 29th, 2007,
titled, Parish grieves closing, final mass
emotional, the party that has secured space
at the church is not EWCC but my employer,
Ford Motor Company of Canada.

Excerpt from the article reads as follows:

"Ford Motor Company has committed to rent
the church's basement and rectory over
the next 2 years for use as office space
while the company dismantles the nearby
foundry.

Hmmm.
Well, I'm sure if I got it wrong, lawyer #1
will tell me and I'll tell you.
