The plaintiff, a non-profit providing farm financing to Status Indians, brought a motion for default judgment against the defendants for breach of loan agreements and conditional sales contracts.
The defendants, who reside on the Six Nations Reserve, failed to defend the action.
The court granted default judgment for monetary indebtedness totaling over $484,000.
The court also held that the Indian Act does not preclude the plaintiff from enforcing its security interests under the Personal Property Security Act to repossess farm equipment located on the reserve, as the equipment was acquired in the commercial mainstream.
Finally, the court ordered crop insurance proceeds assigned to the plaintiff to be paid into court by Agricorp pending a further motion.
