The plaintiff sued the defendants for $78,600, alleging breach of an oral contract to provide immigration services to a third party.

The defendants counterclaimed for unpaid immigration services, an unpaid loan, and unpaid rent.

The court dismissed the plaintiff's claims, finding his evidence and that of his witnesses lacked credibility and documentary support.

The court also dismissed the defendant Depinderdeep Singh's counterclaims for lack of documentary evidence.

However, the court granted the defendant Monisha Singh's counterclaim for unpaid rent in the amount of $16,400, based on a written lease agreement.

The applicants, a minority shareholder and its principal, sought an oppression remedy against the majority shareholder and his holding company in a family-owned transportation business.

The court found that the majority shareholder unfairly disregarded the applicants' interests by excluding the individual applicant from management, terminating his employment, paying excessive compensation to himself and his spouse, and improperly deducting expenses from the minority shareholder's dividends.

The court ordered the respondents to purchase the minority shares for $1,592,000 based on a February 2019 valuation and to pay $80,902.67 in compensation for unpaid dividends.
