Brighton Beach Properties Ltd. rejected Angela Sparvier's application to buy a lot in Brighton Beach , a small community on the west shore of Indian Arm, in part because of concerns about her common-law spouse Ken Starr .

The company owns 12 hectares of property accessible only by boat, about a 10-minute ride from Deep Cove .

The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal ruled the company discriminated against the would-be buyer because of her marital status, among other concerns.

Brighton was ordered to pay $ 25,000 to Sparvier for injury to dignity, feelings and self-respect.

The board offered to buy the lot from L.E. who was not interested.

Spariver fixed up the property and sold it herself for $ 400,000 before her death in 2020 .
