The Hudson's Bay outlet in Coquitlam is the latest to run afoul of its landlord in a dispute over rental payments.
The Coquitlam store was shuttered over the weekend for non-payment of rent, just the latest in a series of problems that have seen judges in Quebec and Ontario order the retailer to pay rents to various shopping mall landlords.
A spokesman for one of the landlords says the court rulings are welcome and the retailer and its "New York-based private-equity owners" must honour obligations to pay rent.
The ruling from Quebec reminds Hudson's Bay that it cannot take the law into its own hands.
