04 Dec 11. AeroMechanical Services Ltd. (TSX-V: AMA.V – News) has learned that it has been named as a Defendant in an action brought by Sierra Nevada Corporation in the state of Utah seeking damages for the non-payment of invoices totaling approximately $2,042,000 along with interest and costs. The claims are in breach of contract, debt and unjust enrichment. AMA had previously commenced arbitration proceedings against SNC in Alberta. AMA will be contesting the jurisdiction of the Utah court and will be asserting that Alberta is the convenient forum for the determination of both disputes. Pursuant to a press release dated November 18, 2011, AMA had previously announced that it had filed an application with the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta against SNC seeking the appointment of an arbitrator as a result of the absence of progress regarding the outstanding accounts payable. AMA has claimed damages in the amount of $1,329,976 (US) and $2,650,000 (CDN). The Company and SNC were working together on the development of the Automated Flight Information Reporting System (“AFIRS™”) 228. Late in 2010, AMA’s management recognized the progress on the AFIRS 228 was not on track, delayed and over budget and moved development in-house. Since then, the Company has been attempting to resolve the issue with SNC. To date, there has been no satisfactory resolution found and in order to make progress, AMA terminated the License and Manufacturing Agreement that was executed on December 29, 2008 for material breach
