After racking up over a dozen personal lawsuits and more than 20 against his contracting business, a second Penticton business owned by Jason Stutzke is being sued. 

Joseph and Nada Vunak filed the $94,000 claim on Jan. 16, naming Stutzke and two other numbered companies, one of which is associated with Okanagan Extreme Homebuilders.

The lawsuit claims that the couple had owned Medallion for over 30 years and sold it to Stutzke in 2020 for over $287,000 plus interest, paid monthly in instalments of $5,164, and that he had failed to pay multiple instalments, with the couple seeking the outstanding $94,000. 

The suit further notes that in the face of the multiple other claims against Stutzke, which have reached over $7 million including foreclosure claims on his home at 148 Garnet Way, the Vunaks claim they have lost confidence in Stutzke's ability to fulfill his contract and pay the full price for the business. 

In addition, on Jan. 17, 2025, Stutzke's lawyer in one of two multi-million-dollar foreclosure claims filed their notice of withdrawal from the case. 

Stutzke's name is on the most recent business licence for Medallion issued by the City of Penticton.

At the moment, the Vunak's are the only ones to have sued Medallion. 

The number of lawsuits against Stutzke's other company, Okanagan Extreme Homebuilders, continued to grow in 2024. 

Stutzke was sued at the tail-end of December, 2024 by Tri-City Heating and Air-Conditioning doing business as Canadian Aerothermal for $79,000 over two separate claims and by Colin Kennedy of CK Creative Painting for $35,000. 

Earlier in 2024 and previously unreported, Stutzke was sued by DC Real Estate Holdings Penticton doing business as Remax Penticton, for breach of contract where he failed to pay them a percentage of construction costs for people the realty firm referred over for new homes. 

The four different suits filed by DC Real Estate all received default judgements after Stutzke failed to respond. 

The numbered company that does business as Okanagan Extreme Homebuilders was incorporated in 2014, according to a lawsuit that was filed by Stutzke and later dropped, in order to set up a franchise of Alair Homes, but that deal fell through. 

Stutzke also operated Extreme Power Sport in Sicamous, until it burned down in 2016. Later that year he pitched a lodge for snow mobile tourism with accomodation and a restaurant in Revelstoke which went nowhere after a single appearance before town council where requests were made for no-build no-disturb covenants for large chunks of the property and to register a statutory right of way for public access.
