Heaven Bridge Church is suing Grace Christian Chapel over a deal to buy 50% of the old 1926 Vancouver Heights United Church at the corner of Albert Street and Ingleton Avenue in Burnaby.
Two congregations hold church services and other religious activities at the old Vancouver Heights United Church building on the corner of Albert Street and Ingleton Avenue.
Heaven Bridge claims the two congregations first made the deal in April 2017, agreeing Heaven Bridge would come up with $1.5 million of the purchase price on its own. Heaven Bridge was to obtain the $1 million on its own and pay it to Grace Christian “over time, without a deadline.”The two congregations made a second agreement in about January 2021.
Contract breach alleged By June 2023, Heaven Bridge had paid $2 million toward the purchase of the property and informed Grace Christian it was prepared to repay the loan and complete the deal, according to the notice of civil claim. If Heaven Bridge tried to impede the sale or took any legal action, Grace Christian said it would dissolve itself, according to the claim.It is also calling for a court order compelling Grace Christian to live up to the second agreement and for a certificate of pending litigation to be registered against the church property’s title.
But Qamar committed errors and omissions, according to Heaven Bridge, including failing to determine the church property was made up of two lots and then failing to include one of the lots in the description of the property in the second agreement.
