At least three lawsuits were filed in Superior Court yesterday for non-payment of financial obligations.
Paul Huang, represented by lawyer Danilo Aguilar, sued Jeff P. Boyer and Edward M. Calvo for not settling their alleged outstanding balance of $18,697.
Documents showed that on June 26, 2000, the defendants executed a promissory note to pay Huang $20,000. Huang said despite his numerous attempts to contact the defendants, nothing happened to resolve the issue.
As of Aug. 31, 2004, the defendants still owe Huang a total of $18,697, which includes the $12,000 capital amount and $6,697 in interests at 12 percent per annum. The two are accused of breach of promissory note.
In another lawsuit, Doris C. Celis claimed that defendant Hwang In Ok has not been complying with the terms of his lease agreement for a parcel of real property in San Jose, Saipan.
Celis said that in a Nov. 21, 1998, lease agreement, Hwang agreed to pay $500 a month for the first five years of lease, and a 5 percent increase in the fee for every five years thereafter.
Based on the agreement, Hwang should have paid $500 from 1988 to 1993; $525 from 1993 to 1998; $551.25 from 1998 to 2003; and $578.81 from 2003 to 2008.
“Defendant has injured the obligations and has fallen in arrears of substantial rents,” said the plaintiff, represented by lawyer Joseph A. Arriola. The plaintiff said that a notice of default was given as of April 2003 but the defendant continued to fail to comply with rental provisions.
The plaintiff asks for the payment of outstanding balance to be determined by the court and the immediate termination of the contract.
Meanwhile, Island Business Systems Supplies sued Pacific Belle over a default in payment. IBSS said that parties entered into an equipment lease contract on July 7, 2003, which was amended on Oct. 20, 2003. As of May 14, 2004, the plaintiff said that the defendant still owes $3,491.
“Notwithstanding demand, defendant failed to, refused, and neglected, and still fails, refuse, and neglects to pay said amount,” said the plaintiff.
The defendant originally owed $16,693 for a Canon equipment.
