The plaintiff brought a motion for summary judgment for an admitted debt of $164,451.82.
The defendant counterclaimed, alleging that a representative of the plaintiff conspired with a third-party livestock dealer to exert undue influence and duress, forcing the defendant to sell his livestock and ruining his business.
The court granted summary judgment for the plaintiff and dismissed the counterclaim, finding it was barred by the Limitations Act, 2002 and lacked sufficient evidence to establish the tort of civil conspiracy.
