Triple J Five Star Wholesale Foods Inc. is suing the owner of Tinian Dynasty Hotel & Casino for allegedly refusing to pay 15 purchases of goods worth $34,426.83 in August 2015. <\/p>\n
Triple J, through counsel James R. Stump, is suing Hong Kong Entertainment (Overseas) Investment Ltd., for 15 counts of breach of contract.<\/p>\n
Triple J asked the Superior Court to hold Hong Kong Entertainment liable to pay a total of $38,762.97, including late fees.<\/p>\n
Triple J also requested the court to hold Hong Kong Entertainment (HKE) liable to pay the company in attorney\u2019s fees and court costs.<\/p>\n
Stump stated in the complaint filed last week that during August 2015, HKE established a contract for sale for 15 purchases of goods from Triple J on Aug. 12 to 20, 2015 that ranged in total value from $104 to $13,120.54 that in total equaled $34,426.83.<\/p>\n
Stump said Triple J has sent monthly statement of account demands for payment on the contract to HKE with respect to 15 transactions, but HKE never responded.<\/p>\n
Of 15 purchases, HKE allegedly only made one payment. In that one transaction that involves $4,505.28, HKE, however, did not pay all the amount due, leaving a balance of $2,021.26.<\/p>\n
Stump said when the buyer of goods fails to pay price when it becomes due, the seller may recover price of accepted goods together with any incidental damages.<\/p>\n
In January 2016, the U.S. District Court for the NMI Bankruptcy Division granted the U.S. Trustee\u2019s motion to dismiss the bankruptcy petition filed by HKE.<\/p>\n
According to court records, HKE values itself at $55 million, but its secured debts alone exceed $194 million, and unsecured debts total over $78 million. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
