What happened
Universal Ostrich Farms filed a lawsuit in Vernon against the government and police. The farm claims the Canadian Food Inspection Agency unlawfully seized 1,200 ostrich eggs. The farm argues this seizure destroyed a dietary supplement business it projected to generate $200 million, and Landco Ventures, the property owner, is also a plaintiff.

Why it matters
The lawsuit centers on the loss of a commercial market launch for a product based on the seized eggs. The farm claims the seizure irreversibly destroyed the business, which was projected to have $200 million in revenue.
An investigation into farm management controversies is currently underway, which may culminate in a final appeal heard by the Supreme Court of Canada.
