The plaintiff, a production services company, commenced an action against the defendant for unpaid invoices totalling $85,952.96.
The defendant failed to participate meaningfully in five pre-trial conferences, did not comply with court-ordered timetables, and did not attend trial.
The court ordered the trial to proceed in the defendant's absence.
The plaintiff established an unchallenged breach of contract claim based on invoices for production services rendered between 2015 and 2018.
The court awarded judgment for the full unpaid amount plus prejudgment interest and costs, but declined to award aggravated damages or make an interim order regarding asset sale proceeds.
