According to an order to show and citation, filed with the Park County District Court, the Indian Mountain Corporation has been ordered to appear Sept. 9 to show why it should not be held libel for “indirect criminal contempt,” stemming from a case it lost against the Indian Mountain Metropolitan District earlier this year.
In March, IMC went to court in an attempt to recover past expenses from IMMD for the subdivision’s water augmentation plan, which IMC maintains. Judge Stephen A. Groome ruled against all of IMC’s claims.
The ruling by Groome found that “IMC received a benefit (proceeds from lot sales) from the purchasers of the lots, and that IMC would be unjustly enriched by charging ongoing fees forty (40) years later for use of the augmentation water.”
