 This week, the Yukon Court of Appeal was the stage for heated arguments regarding the 2014 replacement of the Whitehorse airport’s concrete apron, which showed signs of cracking soon after completion. Lawyers representing contractor Norcope Enterprises Ltd., Intact Insurance Company, and the Yukon government presented their cases, each denying responsibility for the flawed project.The dispute began when the Yukon government, after awarding Norcope a multimillion-dollar contract for the apron replacement at Erik Nielsen Whitehorse International Airport, observed cracks in the concrete panels the same year. The government's lawsuit against Norcope and Intact Insurance, the project's bond-holder, led to a counter-lawsuit from Norcope, culminating in a five-week trial.Yukon Supreme Court deputy Justice Adele Kent's ruling last year found all parties – the government, Norcope, and subcontractor Tetra Tech (responsible for quality control) – variably responsible.
