Two new lawsuits ? by Bermuda Air Conditioning Ltd. and the Bermuda Housing Corporation ? have been filed against beleaguered Pro-Active Management.

Pro-Active won the $68-million contract in April, 2001 to build the new senior secondary school on Berkeley Road in Pembroke. The contract, however, was terminated by Government last August.

Bermuda Air Conditioning general manager John Plested said his company was forced to take legal action since Pro-Active owes the company more than $100,000 for work carried out at the Berkeley Road site early last year. Details of the writ filed by BHC were not available by Press time last night.

It is not the first time Pro-Active has been beset by financial woes.

Last February Government stepped in and gave the company an extra $13 million and 12 months to complete the school project. In February, 2003 former Works Minister Alex Scott admitted that Pro-Active had received financial help in order to pay debts outstanding to subcontractors. He said benefactors from the private sector and not Government had helped the company to pay off its debts which enabled Pro-Active to retain the contract.
