Lawsuit

On April 18, 2008 Korpan filed a lawsuit against local business owner Angela Negrin and Tony Parkin for allegedly displaying defamatory bumper stickers which read "Free Nanaimo from Koruption". Korpan claims the stickers, which have been circulating in Nanaimo for over year, allege he is corrupt.
