The plaintiff, Yan Qing (Eva) Chen, brought an unopposed motion for default judgment against the defendants, Ji Cai Sun and Tai Ji International Auctions Corp., seeking damages for trespass, conversion, and fraud related to the theft of antiques.
The plaintiff also sought an order to correct a misnomer in the style of cause, prejudgment and post-judgment interest, and a finding that the debt was a result of fraud under section 178 of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act.
The court granted the plaintiff's requests, finding the defendants liable based on deemed admissions and affidavit evidence, and awarded substantial indemnity costs.
