    Moss Development sues Newfoundland and Labrador government over asbestos conditions at Labrador Correctional Centre

    Lawsuit filed

    Moss Development Corporation filed its second lawsuit against the Newfoundland and Labrador government on Sept. 29, 2026 in the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador, claiming the province's "management of repeated asbestos conditions" at the Labrador Correctional Centre caused delays and losses. The contractor is claiming special damages of over $3 million and seeking a declaration that the government is responsible for the asbestos-related delays and that the company did not breach its contract. According to the claim, the jail's rooftop HVAC system went out of service in July 2026 and was still out of service when the suit was filed, and the province's consultant Pinchin Ltd. confirmed asbestos was present in settled dust inside the duct system. Moss Development denies it was in default. The N.L. government has not yet filed a statement of defence, and the claims have not been tested in court.

    Stated objective. To claim special damages of over $3 million and to obtain a declaration that the government is responsible for the asbestos-related delays and that Moss Development did not breach its contract.
