Wei v. Chiu et al. (8 August 2019), Vancouver S174491 (SCBC)

Craig Dennis, K.C., Owen James and Eric Aitken succeeded for the plaintiff in obtaining a multi-million dollar damages award

The award related to a fraudulent investment scheme carried out by the defendants. The underlying litigation involved claims based in fraud, conversion and breach of trust. The award concluded litigation that saw the plaintiff obtain a worldwide Mareva Order to freeze the defendants’ assets at the outset of the litigation as well as obtain (by working alongside foreign counsel) an order recognizing and enforcing the order in Hong Kong. In the course of the proceeding Craig, Owen and Eric were also successful in obtaining orders that the defendants be held in contempt of court.
