The plaintiffs brought a motion for the registration and enforcement in Ontario of a final judgment granted by a Florida court.
The underlying action involved a real estate investment in Florida, which the parties settled.
The defendants defaulted on the settlement agreement, leading to the Florida judgment.
The defendants did not defend the Ontario action.
The court found that the Florida court properly assumed jurisdiction and that the judgment was not contrary to natural justice or public policy.
The motion was granted, and the foreign judgment was recognized and enforced.
