In this summary trial application dated February 27, 2023, the plaintiff, Haixia Lu also known as Hai Xia Lu, sought judgment against the defendant, Xue Yun Li, for an alleged unpaid loan of $661,970, and also sought a declaration of an equitable mortgage on the defendant's property. The defendant disputed the suitability of a summary trial, argued jurisdiction in the People's Republic of China, and claimed the funds were part of a joint investment. An evidentiary issue arose regarding a recorded conversation. The plaintiff, who was terminally ill, passed away before the hearing, and her executor was substituted as the plaintiff. The court granted judgment for the loan but dismissed the application for an equitable mortgage. The court indicated a preliminary view that the plaintiff should receive costs but remained open to submissions on the matter.
