A lawsuit filed in Hualapai Tribal Court earlier this month alleges, among other things, that directors of the Grand Canyon Resort Corporation and its officers conspired to break a contract with Western Destinations owner Jim Brown, the builder and manager of Hualapai Ranch.
This is the second instance in which the resort corporation has been formally accused of failing to honor its contracts with non-tribal business partners in Grand Canyon West, but the lawyer who filed the lawsuit on Brown’s behalf could not say for certain if a pattern has developed.
Tucson-based attorney Ali Farhang did suggest, however, that a growing history of breaking contracts with business partners would come back to haunt the Hualapai Tribe.
