The plaintiff, Seeta Angel, and her niece, the defendant Monica Beepat, entered into an oral agreement for the purchase and sale of goods to be shipped from Canada to Guyana.
The plaintiff shipped nine shipments of goods, but the defendant only acknowledged an agreement for the first shipment and refused to pay for the rest.
The court found that the parties had an enforceable oral agreement for all nine shipments, preferring the plaintiff's evidence.
The court ordered the defendant to pay $177,444.80 for the goods, less a credit for mitigated goods.
Claims for mental distress, aggravated damages, and punitive damages were dismissed.
