B.C. judge allows eagle sculpture insurance case despite ‘inexcusable’ delays

A B.C. Supreme Court judge ruled that a lawsuit against insurance companies regarding the theft of eagle sculptures can continue despite delays of over six years, as stated in the ruling posted Tuesday.
The lawsuit was filed by Forgotten Treasures International in 2018 after owner Ron Shore was robbed of the sculptures, which were valued at over $1 million and $50,000 respectively.
The judge noted that Shore had previously won a default judgment against Lloyd's but had wasted two years trying to preserve it instead of proceeding with the case.
Ultimately, the judge decided it was in the 'interests of justice to allow the claim to proceed' despite the delays.
