Broggian Diffusione Spa v. Dina Fine Jewellery Ltd.
- Broggian Diffusione Spa, an Italian wholesale jewellery distributor, sought $73,997 judgment against Dina Fine Jewellery Ltd. ("Dina") and Saatchi & Saatchi Fine Jewellery Since 1925 Ltd. ("Saatchi 1925 Ltd.") for alleged 2019 jewellery delivery.
- Dina, based in Vancouver and trading as Saatchi & Saatchi Fine Jewellery, and Saatchi 1925 Ltd. disputed the summary trial's suitability, citing evidence conflicts.
- Three main defenses presented by defendants:
1. Jewellery wasn't delivered to Dina.
2. Broggian hadn't accounted for all of Dina's payments.
3. Saatchi 1925 Ltd. wasn't part of the jewellery contracts.
- Court's findings after examining evidence:
- Dina did receive the jewellery.
- Dina's payments were tied to different invoices.
- Broggian couldn't prove Saatchi 1925 Ltd.'s contract involvement.
- Judgment favored Broggian against Dina for $73,997 plus interest.
- Action against Saatchi 1925 Ltd. was dismissed.
