Background:
This case involved a commercial dispute between 685946 B.C. Ltd. (plaintiff), controlled by Bhupinder "Bob" Nijjar and Rajinder "Raji" Nijjar, and 0773907 B.C. Ltd., 1036861 B.C. Ltd., 1129354 B.C. Ltd., and Randeep Nijjar (defendants). The core issue was the failure to repay loans totaling $400,000 and the conversion of an additional $402,000.

Legal Issues:
The plaintiff claimed the defendants breached a loan agreement and committed the tort of conversion. The court found Randeep Nijjar and 1036861 B.C. Ltd. liable for both breaches. The defendants made numerous procedural delays, including repeated attempts to adjourn the trial and amend pleadings, and failed to comply with court rules.

Outcome:
The court awarded $802,000 in damages to the plaintiff but declined punitive damages. Due to the defendants' misconduct, including frivolous applications and failing to attend parts of the trial, the court also awarded special costs against Randeep Nijjar and 1129354 B.C. Ltd..

Costs Award:
Nick (Randeep Nijjar) and 1129354 B.C. Ltd. were held jointly and severally liable for special costs, which the registrar would assess, in addition to the $802,000 damages.
