Background: Zhong Tie Enterprise Inc. and Lihui Meng sought to immigrate to Canada from China under the British Columbia Provincial Nominee Program (BCPNP). The defendants, Ping Wang and Qian Fan, agreed to find business opportunities and assist with immigration applications. However, they diverted some of the plaintiffs' investment funds for personal use and invested other funds in non-eligible ventures.

Legal Arguments/Issues: The plaintiffs accused the defendants of breach of fiduciary duty, fraudulent misrepresentation, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and conversion. Defendants Ping Wang and Qian Fan, who appeared in person, were found liable for converting investment funds and misleading the plaintiffs about their immigration applications. The plaintiffs sought special costs due to the defendants’ reprehensible conduct, including fabricating evidence and attempting to mislead the court.

Judgment and Awards: The court awarded the plaintiffs a monetary judgment and ordered the transfer of shares in two companies to them. Special costs were awarded due to the defendants' deliberate attempts to deceive the court, non-disclosure, and post-judgment conduct aimed at obstructing the plaintiffs' rights. Misconduct included forged documents, false testimony, and improper changes to corporate directorships.

Costs: The exact monetary amount awarded was not specified, but the court's decision included a substantial monetary judgment and an order for the defendants to cover special costs due to their reprehensible conduct throughout the litigation process.
