The Plaintiffs, FactR Limited and Constructr Limited, factoring companies, brought a motion for summary judgment against R.R.I.C.H. Construction & Management Inc., 85242 Newfoundland & Labrador Inc. (the "Contract Defendants"), and Michael Mullett (the "Guarantor") for repayment of loans under invoice factoring agreements.
They also sought judgment against Roman Artemovych for conversion of a cheque.
The Contract Defendants, Guarantor, and Mr. Artemovych failed to file affidavits, attend examinations, or appoint new counsel after their previous lawyer was removed, leading to their Statements of Defence being struck.
The court granted summary judgment as requested, finding no genuine issue for trial regarding the claims for unpaid loans and the tort of conversion.
