LONDON, ONTARIO, JUL 9 – Lawsuits claim over $60 million lost to contracts with conflicts of interest and inflated invoices, with some executives allegedly aware but failing to act, according to hospital audit.
- London Health Sciences Centre filed two lawsuits accusing former executives and contractors of a decade-long fraud in procurement and construction contracts discovered in late 2024.
- The lawsuits arise from a confidential 2022 report highlighting fraud concerns and claim that certain executives were aware of the misconduct but failed to take steps to halt or disclose it.
- LHSC terminated agreements with GBI Construction in September 2024 and BH Contractors in June 2025, claiming inflated invoices, forged documents, and irregular bids inflated losses to about $50 million.
- The lawsuits seek over $60 million in damages, citing properties worth nearly $20 million bought after awarding contracts, and include a call for $1.5 million in punitive damages.
- LHSC emphasized that this fraud does not reflect its team, is vigorously pursuing civil cases, continues forensic audits, and has shared findings with police who are still investigating.
