This is the perfect example of the attitude this foreign thief has towards the rules and regulations Canadians are expected to abide by – but not him – we’re not up to his high standards like being business partners with a convicted felon.

A barge maintenance and vessel-recycling company in Union Bay has agreed to pay $40,000 and issue an apology to a woman who has been monitoring its operations with her drone.
Mary Reynolds sued Deep Water Recovery in 2022, alleging harassment, assault and intimidation by Mark Jurisich, the company’s director, operations manager and majority shareholder.
She alleged Jurisich and other company staff had approached her in a parking lot, physically intimidated her, stole her drone, followed her to her house and threatened her.
The company filed a counterclaim in B.C. Supreme Court, alleging Reynolds engaged in a “malicious campaign” against it.
Reynolds applied to strike the counterclaim, saying it should be dismissed under B.C.’s Protection of Public Participation Act because it attempted to silence expression on matters of public interest. The law was created to counter strategic litigation against public participation, or SLAPP.
In a ruling last year, Justice Gareth Morley found a part of Deep Water Recovery’s counterclaim that targeted the dissemination of videos and images should be dismissed under the act, and he ordered the company to pay Reynolds’ legal costs related to her anti-SLAPP application.
Deep Water Recovery was required to pay $165,000 for Reynolds’ legal costs.
Reynolds’ claim and the unresolved portion of the company’s counterclaim were set to go to trial in October, but the parties agreed to a settlement.
The company agreed to pay Reynolds $40,000, and Jurisich wrote a letter on behalf of himself and Deep Water Recovery apologizing for taking Reynolds’ drone and damaging it.
Reynolds said that while the legal issues are settled, she remains concerned that the company is polluting.
“I won this battle, but the war is far from over,” she said.
Reynolds said she plans to continue flying her drone over the site to monitor the company’s actions.
Jurisich said the company agreed to settle rather than spend 14 days arguing in court.
“It would appear the judicial system is just completely dysfunctional,” he said.
Jurisich accused Reynolds of harassing him and his staff for years.
The company provides good-paying jobs and has spent $600,000 on hotels for contractors in the first half of this year alone, Jurisich said.
But the message he’s receiving is: “Don’t do business here,” he said.
